As far as I know, there is no bold variant of the Symbols Set, as the 
symbol font is called.  Bold greek letters are necessary in mathematical
typesetting of vectors in Gibb's notation.  In TeX I get it using the
poor man's bold---repeated offsetting of the character to get a slightly
blurred but (dare I say it?) bolder character.  references to bold greek
an be found in the Chicago Manual of Style and the TeXbook.  I have never
yet seen reference to slanted greek characters.
