g has two distinct sounds in ancient Greek (as opposed to classical Greek).

1. Before the vowels e, t, and y, it is pronounced y as in yes.

2. Before vowels a, o, and u, it is pronounced g as in go.

ē = ay

é has two different pronunciations which are due to the placement of the accent. In energētikés the emphasis is on the 2nd syllable, so it is pronounced kees. In grammés the emphasis is on the 1st sylable so it is pronounced mays.
