A lot has been written about the connection between Chanuka and the story of Joseph. To give but one example on how they are connected, it is noted that in the middle of discussing the laws of Chanukah, the Talmud interrupts to discuss the pit into which Joseph was thrown into by his brothers.

Here is one interpretation on the connection between Joseph and Chanuka that I saw recently.

When Joseph related his first dream to his brothers, about the sheaves of wheat [representing his brothers] bowing down to him, they became angry and jealous. They said (Gen 37:8): “Do you think you will rule over us?”
