At the time the Old Testament was written none of the books were written in Greek, but about the 2nd or 3rd century B.C. the Old Testament was translated into Greek and is called the Septuagint.

No. The original Old Testament was primarily written in Hebrew with some small sections in Aramaic. The first time the Old Testament was translated into Ancient Greek was for the Septuagint. The New Testament, however, was written exclusively in Greek and significant parts of the Deuterocanon were written in Greek.
