The language of the modern Persians is Farsi, with many dialects within Iran along with Afghanistan and Tajikistan. Sometimes other Iranian/Iranic languages of this region are included in this, such as Kurdish, Baluchi, and various other minority languages.
The language of the Persians which fought the Roman Empire, the Sassanids and Parthians, is Middle Persian. It is also referred to as Pahlavi, although this more properly refers to the writing system they used.
The language of the Persians which fought with the Ancient Greeks is Old Persian. It lasted until near the end of the Achaeminid empire at which time it began transitioning into Middle Persian.

The ancient Greeks did have a written language, notably the Greek alphabet, which emerged around the 8th century BCE. This development allowed for the recording of literature, philosophy, and administrative matters, contributing significantly to their successful civilization. Prior to the Greek alphabet, the Mycenaean civilization used a form of writing called Linear B, indicating that written language has been a part of Greek culture for millennia. Thus, the notion that they had no written language is inaccurate.
If you define "written language" loosely, then the Cro Magnon cave paintings in France from ca. 10,000 BC, which depict hunts and aspects of culture, are the oldest "written language." If you define "written language" as a systematic representation of a specific human language, then Sumerian and Ancient Egyptian both had written forms about 3500 BC.

No, Persian writing is not included in Latin literature. Latin literature refers to literary works written in the Latin language primarily by authors from Ancient Rome or other Latin-speaking regions. Persian writing, on the other hand, includes literary works written in the Persian language.
