Besides they're both have many similarities, maybe the vocabularies are very different from each other, but the grammar is very similar. However greek's morphology is too complex, and since you know some spanish you'll find latin's morphology to be easier. On the other hand latin's sintax is more complex than greek's. In many Universities they teach the 2 languages at the same time. You really should learn both, since as you say, both are key languages.

Why? Because Italian, French, Catalan, Romanian, Spanish, and Portuguese are descended from Latin, while many others, including English, have inherited and acquired much of their vocabulary from Latin.

I'd recommend doing Latin first and then Greek as well. Familiarity with Latin will give you a slight head start in Greek.
