Dates (beginning with Ancient Greek) from Wallace, D. B. (1996). Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics: An Exegetical Syntax of the New Testament. Grand Rapids: Zondervan. p. 12. ISBN 0310218950. Koine Greek (Greek: Ελληνιστική Κοινή Koine Greek: /kɔɪˈnɛ/, Modern Greek: /ciˈni eliniˈci/, "common Greek"; or ἡ κοινὴ διάλεκτος, "the common dialect") also called koine, Hellenic, Alexandrian, Macedonian, Macedonic, Hellenistic, Patristic, Common, Biblical, and New Testament Greek, is the popular form of the Greek language that emerged in post-Classical antiquity (c.300 BC – AD 300), as distinct from the Attic dialect. Koine was the first common supra-regional dialect in Greece and came to serve as a lingua franca for the eastern Mediterranean and ancient Near East throughout the Roman period. It was also the original language of the New Testament of the Christian Bible and of the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible). Koine is the main ancestor of modern Greek.

I am not sure about the other, as I just got that website off another question here on Answers and have never looked into it. It is for New Testament Greek, but I do not know how good it is.

New Testament Greek is specifically the Greek of the NT, but usually people use the term to include the Greek spoken by people of the same time (1st century AD) It also gets called koine Greek which means "Common Greek" because it was the common language of the time. Biblical Greek is similar to NT Greek but would include the Greek of the Septuagint which is slightly different. Ancient Greek includes the above but goes back further in time up to around the 8th century BC and includes the classical Greek of people like Homer and Plato.
