You can do this but (as i said before) the iso9995-3 map that gets included
by the default rules overides most of this keys
key <AE02> {        [], [ twosuperior,      oneeighth       ]       };
if you don't use Option "XkbLayout" "el" but use something like
Option  "XkbSymbols" "us(pc104)+el(basic)+whatever" and it will work.
