Did the Greeks write in Latin?

Not in general. The Greek civilization was older than the Latin civilization, and the Greeks considered their language, arts and culture to be superior to others, including those of the Romans (although they held Egyptian culture in high esteem on account of its great antiquity). The Romans, by the way, agreed with this assessment, and emulated the Greeks in all matters of art and literature. An indispensible part of being an educated Roman was the ability to speak and write Greek.
