Database - overkill

Apache mod_whatsitcalled will do this very easily for you, based on
language settings in the browser. (Do your own searching, I'm not
familiar with the thing). Needs a bit of learning and the right sort of
hosting though.

Simplest and most straightforward though (on a 5 page site) is probably
to just have a directory structure like this and do it all "in
longhand"

\index.html

+- english_pages
+- greek_pages
+- shared_images_and_css


Use either SSI or before-publication pre-processing to include standard
boilerplate as needed. Although with good CSS design, your HTML should
be so simple that there's just not much in there that needs to be
boilerplated.
