Which means what?  BTW, let me ask again: Where are the
hyphenation files and how they are created?

Actually this is the spelling assistant not the hyphenator. This module is
described in the following URL:

https://www.openoffice.org/lingucomponent/hyphenator.html

There I read the following:

You need to put an indicator of the character encoding used
as the first line of the dictionary file (look in hyph_en.dic).

Possible values are: ISO8859-1, ISO8859-2, ..., ISO8859-10, KOI8-R 	

So in the era of Unicode, OpenOffice insists on using single byte encodings which practically means that
it is impossible to hyphenate ancient Greek text. The reason? You need UTF-8 hyphenation patterns which
of course exist in the TeX world and are used by XeTeX.
