This mark above the letter (is called τόνος/tonos in greek) is used to show where each word is accented. It is only found above vowels and in words with more than one syllabe

[RaviFernan]

What purpose does the "Ι" serve in the option "Ι Ιλιάδα"? I got this question as a multiple-choice, translating "Iliad". Ιλιάδα was marked correct both with and without the Ι.

I am interpreting the single letter before the Greek word as a learning device. When I learned English "A" was for "apple", "B" was for "bear" etc. Also, look at the notes included in the first lesson for help downloading a Greek keyboard to your computer.

Since ι and η have the same sound, how do you know where to use which?

[marychr]

You usually follow some grammar rules. For example in feminine words that end with this sound, you always use η.
