Were ancient Greece and ancient Egypt allies?

Answer 1

Firstly, Greece did not exist as a country. It was an ethnic group of over 2,000 independent city-states spread around the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Each had its own allies and acted according to its own interests at any time. During the 450s BCE the Athenians sent an expeditionary force to support an Egyptian revolt against the Persian Empire which then ruled Egypt. After an initial success, Athens lost the whole expedition when it was trapped in the marshes and had to surrender. Eventually Macedonia took over Egypt under Alexander the great, and when his empire split up after his death, his general Ptolemy took over Egypt as its king, opposing the other generals who took over Greece and Asia Minor. This opposition continued until Augustus incorporated them all into the Roman Empire.

Answer 2

No. The two terms refer to almost completely different regions and times, though the influence of what we call "Ancient Greece" certainly extended to portions of what had, at one time, been "ancient Egypt."

Greece was not located in ancient Egypt. It is in southwestern Europe, across the Mediterranean Sea from Egypt in northern Africa. The ancient Greeks were among the first modern societies to study the ancient history of Egypt. Many of the translations of hieroglyphics are based on the Rosetta Stone, which had text written in both hieroglyphic form and in Ancient Greek.
