often times, many gods from the two had similar jobs/roles, but the god himself was very different from the other. a main difference, though, is that egyptian mythology was therianthrophic - part human part animal, while greek mythology was anthropomorphic - gods and goddesses with human characteristics. it is much easier to narrow down what topics to discuss when comparing the two mythologies; they are both very well-known and many different stories and alterations are told

i know i didn't really say many differences, but i know my answer is much better than some i've seen ;)
