I once tried Odin FH and it really worked well. Odin villagers hunt faster. So you get to classical pretty soon. build your temple close to enemy base. then cast forest fire to appropriate location to disturb his eco a bit. Use Valkyrie for raiding. just create armory and advance to heroic then cast Walking woods. Use giant to destroy houses and military buildings..
Works best against attie. Should work against greeks too.

Forward building while advancing to heroic would not work against a greek, no. In fact I wouldn't forward build at all if I was going FH.
A greek will tear your fb down with either Zeus' hoplites, Poseidon's Hippikons, or Hades' cyclops. Most likely.
Build only one temple and one barrack at home, and hit heroic around 7:40 (I think, maybe you can do it faster). Then get a hill fort up by a gold mine. You can also build a second tc while advancing if your economy and your enemy allow it.
FH is not recommended against norse. I don't recommend it against atlantean either, as they already have their counter units in classical, so they don't need to go to heroic to counter you.
A booming Ra or Isis is probably the best use of FH with Odin.
