[edit]History
Relations between the two people date back from the antiquity and before Persian invasion of Greece. There is also the report of Strabo of an Athenian delegation to Persia in 432 BC.[1] The relations have evolved from sworn rivalry during the Greco-Persian wars to strong cordiality. Alexander the Great defeated the Persian empire and the country was ruled by rulers of Greek origins for decades. Greece has an Embassy in Teheran, and Iran is represented by her Embassy in Athens.
