dialog problem with Greek characters

Question

Good morning!

I 'm trying to make a dialog environment using the code:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{dialogue}
\usepackage[english,greek]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
    \begin{dialogue}
        \speak{Αυτός} Λόγια, λόγια, πολλά λόγια.
        \speak{Εκείνη} Κι άλλα λόγια, πάρα πολλά λόγια.
    \end{dialogue}
\end{document}

But some problems arise:

Missing ) inserted for expression. \speak{Αυτός}
Missing = inserted for \ifnum. \speak{Αυτός}
Missing number, treated as zero. \speak{Αυτός}
Package inputenc Error: Unicode char �� (U+)(inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX. \speak{Αυτός}
Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined(inputenc) in inputencoding `utf8'. \speak{Αυτός}
Missing ) inserted for expression. \speak{Αυτός}
Missing = inserted for \ifnum. \speak{Αυτός}
Missing number, treated as zero. \speak{Αυτός}
Package inputenc Error: Unicode char �� (U+)(inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX. \speak{Αυτός}
Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined(inputenc) in inputencoding `utf8'. \speak{Αυτός}

Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined(inputenc) in inputencoding `utf8'. \speak{Εκείνη}

I think the problem is with Greek, because when I tried the code below (see here), everything (almost) was ok.

\begin{dialogue}
\speak{who1} \direct{how} what
\speak{who2} what
\end{dialogue}

How can I fix the problem?
If I can't, is there any alternative solution to make theater-dialog?

Thank's in advanced!

EDIT

I use MikTex in window 10 and the log file is this.

Can't reproduce the issue on a recent TL installation. Which TeX-distribution do you use? Could you post the log-file (or put it on pastebin)? — DG', Jan 17 '19 at 08:24

Could be an encoding problem. Try saving your file explicitly as UTF-8 — DG', Jan 18 '19 at 13:08
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the issue was due to outdated software — egreg, Feb 14 '19 at 11:25

Finally the problem was an old version of MiKTeX. Now it works well.
