They did not conquer Greece. They had incorporated the Greek city-states in Asia Minor into their empire, but their attempts to bring the rest of the Greek world under Persian control failed. The reason they wanted to control the mainland cities was to stop the Greek cities creating disruption in their empire with their constant fighting amongst each other, which spilled over into territory ruled by Persia.

Why did Xerxes want to conquer Greece?
He wanted to increase the wealth of Persia, he wanted glory, and revenge.-------------------------------It all began when the Greeks helped the Ionions revolt, which resulted in the destruction of the Persian city of Sardis. Darius the Great swore revenge, ordered his satrap to attack Greece, but failed. Darius took the task upon himself, but soon died. His son, Xerxes the Great, continued his father's plan.It is important to note that Xerxes did NOT want to conquer Greece. After the Persian victory at the Battle of Thermopylae, Athens was abandoned and "conquered" by the Persians, but Xerxes decided to burn it to the ground in revenge for what the Greeks did to Sardis (although soon after, Xerxes regretted what he had done and rebuilt the city), and thereafter soon left Greece.
