I've plotted the pitch accent of the first verse of the Illiad according to the Japanese system. It's just supposed to be a discrete plot of low and high points, so don't pay attention to slight differences in height or slope. Each point is one mora. Besides visualizing pitch, I can see this sort of exercise being helpful for visualizing the meter.
For those who are totally unfamiliar with Japanese pitch accent, I found these videos (among others) helpful.

For ancient Greek itself, I know there is at least one passage from some ancient author that describes the pitch accent in some detail, but I can't remember what it was called. Does anyone know the passage I'm thinking of? It says high and low differs by an interval of a fifth.
