Which ancient Macedonian king conquered the rest of Greece in the 300's bc?
King Philip II but he didn't want to "conquer" Greece, in the sense that this question implies. Philip II united the Greek city-states under his hegemony so that he could lead a campaign to conquer Persia. Whenever a Greek state became supreme, that supremacy entailed the depression of some states and the dependency or subjection of others. As the eminent historian, J.B. Bury writes, "Athens was reduced to a secondary place by Macedon, and Thebes fared still worse; As the hegemony or first place among Greek states had passed successively from Athens to Sparta, and to Thebes, so now it passed to Macedon". After Philip II's assassination, his famous son Alexander the Great would go on to conquer the Persian empire all the way to India.

No, there is no evidence that Joseph, the father of Jesus, had any relation to Greek religion. By all historical accounts, Joseph was a Jew, as was Mary, the mother of Jesus. (And even if you believe, as Christians do, that Joseph was more like a stepfather, since the actual father of Jesus was God Himself, there is still no evidence that the God of the Jews was also involved with Greek mythology.) That said, yes, there are stories in Greek mythology about miracle births, gods who have a son, dying and rising gods, etc. However, Jesus is not part of ancient Greek religious beliefs.
