In chronological order:

Stanford, William Bedell.
  The sound of Greek; studies in the Greek theory and practice of euphony,
by W. B. Stanford. -- Berkeley, University of California Press, 1967.
(Sather classical lectures v. 38)

Allen, W. Sidney (William Sidney), 1918-
  Vox Graeca: a guide to the pronunciation of classical Greek, by W.
Sidney Allen. -- London, Cambridge <Eng.> University Press, 1968.
(3rd ed. -- Cambridge <Cambridgeshire> ; New York : Cambridge
University Press, 1987).

Chomsky, Noam.
  The sound pattern of English <by> Noam Chomsky <and> Morris Halle. --
New York, Harper & Row <1968> (Studies in language)

Allen, W. Sidney (William Sidney), 1918-
  Accent and rhythm; prosodic features of Latin and Greek: a study in
theory and reconstruction <by> W. Sidney Allen. -- Cambridge <Eng.>
University Press, 1973. (Cambridge studies in linguistics, 12)

Teodorsson, Sven-Tage.
  The phonology of Ptolemaic Koine / by Sven-Tage Teodorsson. -- Goteborg
: Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis (distr.), 1977. (Studia Graeca et
Latina Gothoburgensia ; 0081-6450 36)

Teodorsson, Sven-Tage.
  The phonology of Attic in the Hellenistic period / by Sven-Tage
Teodorsson. -- Goteborg : Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis, 1978.
(Studia Graeca et Latina Gothoburgensia ; 0081-6450 40)

Devine, A. M. (Andrew M.)
  The prosody of Greek speech / A.M. Devine and Laurence D. Stephens. --
New York : Oxford University Press, 1994.

Devine & Stephens is fundamental, has a comprehensive bibliography, but
is not for the faint-hearted. W.S. Allen's Vox Graeca is probably the best
place to start for both the ancient evidence and interpretations of it.
