English term

heautontimoroumenos

English to Greek Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Greek Alphabet,
Can someone tell me (show me) how the Greek phrase 'heautontimoroumenos'. ('The Self-Tormentor'; originally a play by Menander, then Terence, then Baudelaire...) would be written using the Greek alphabet? A friend of mine would like to use it as the title for a video-portrait he is making, and would like to write it in (ancient) Greek.
auto timoroumenos (...) ???
Thanks! -michael
