It is suspicious that those events aren't mentioned in the original language but are associated with Greek which was used by the Jews around 300 B.C and more than 200 years after Daniel and 100 years after Esther.

A number of prominent Bible scholars are convinced that Daniel was actually written in 168 B.C. if I remember correctly. One scholar has even suggested the month in which it was written.
