Θώθ has both upper case and lower case Greek characters, and a diacritic above the ω.

Throughout antiquity, Greek had only a single uppercase form of each letter. It was written without diacritics and with little punctuation.

I suppose it would have been written ΘΩΘ.

Also, single syllable words don't (typically) use diacritics in modern Greek either
