If this is ancient greek, then should we add: Sampi, Koppa, San, Heta, and Zigamma.

This is modern greek, not ancient as stated. The ancient alphabet also contained 3 more symbols: digamma (stigma), koppa and sampi.

The distinction between modern and ancient Greek alphabet makes absolutely no sense because ancient and modern Greek language have the same letters.

An explanation that "Anglo-Saxon pronounciation and writing is required (even though some letters have a totally weird writing) " would be far better!!

At least in greek words will always be spelt how they sound, it's just that a lot of letters make the same sound, so you have to memorize basically all words on which eh sound or which ee sound or which o sound to use.
