well he said "vs all greek" as to the god, so I am assuming its just the units that are effecting him, and as for map name, he is rather new so i'm not sure he's memorized the map names yet... so lets just try and help him anyway.
I would suggest a fast heroic in all cases, Greek units are very powerful, your units can hardly compete unless he makes nothing but hoplites and toxotes and your micro is better, the chances of this being... very very slim. Speed is definitely the one thing you want to be sure you have enough of when facing greeks because his wood-heavy economy is very slow in the start, and rises much more as time goes on, after you get to heroic, I would do Chariot Archers and elephants, but I probably would not do many siege towers until I had the initiative on him anyway...
as for the being attacked. His heroes are very powerful, in classical when he attacks he will have 2 of them, which doesn't seem like much, but you should always fear the ranged hero. Normally as egyptian trying to fast heroic, you repel rushes using myth units, however, against greek you face more of a struggle because you need to get to heroic ASAP, all money used on units will slow down your heroic time, so if you are going to make a few spearmen, be very weary that this fight may get much harder as the game goes on.
If you are a little wood heavy however, It doesn't hurt too bad throw a few slingers in there, or if you have lots of extra gold, some more priests.
priests + towers + pharaoh (if needed) should be able to repel the rush alright... (and the priests can heal afterward) just be sure to focus fire the myth units first as they normally have crush and rip buildings to pieces.

ahh, good point there, I was thinking of throwing in a note afterward that would say "feel free to throw in axeman vs. zeus" but I wasn't sure if I should or not...
and then again, on low hunt now that I think about it, you basically are screwed in that match-up anyway.
on High hunt you should be able to FH 7:30 which the zeus shouldn't be able to kill you by then anyway?
plus with all that isis gold your mercs can save you, but low hunt Idk someone whos better with isis clarify on it.

^ug every civ has it's own "unbeatable" trait when they get to mythic
Atlanteans- get to mythic fast then titan + great GPs
Egyptian- (except Ra)- THOTH ELEPHANTS + plenty of cash for mercs
Norse- Ragnorok
Greek- uhhh Myth Units?

greeks have a very hard time against massed chariot archers, especially under cover of migdol fire.
also, only prodromos really counter war elephants well.
so, yeah, migdol units ftw = fh as much as possible.
hop-mino rush can work, but a good eggy player can easily spit out a couple axes and some priests who, under tower fire, can repel the rush while still going semi-fh.
the hop-mino rush only works on food-heavy maps as well and not all maps are food heavy.
usually there's not much i can do as a greek against an isis fh

tbh spearman/MU/elephant is fine for dealing with petroboli.
Camels melt like butter vs all unit, dont make them unless you are Ra or extremely desperate.

peltasts? nah. ca's have more range and mobility so don't fear peltasts. i remember when 1800s used to tell me that it was easy to beat greeks as eggy because greeks don't have much counter to massed ca + a few elephants + migdol spam
