Greek mythology did not have a calendar.
Not in Greek myth, no.
Danae was a princess in Greek mythology, known for being the mother of Perseus, a famous hero. She was imprisoned by her father, King Acrisius, due to a prophecy that her son would eventually kill him. Danae played a significant role in the story of Perseus, as her plight led to his heroic adventures and eventual triumphs.
Dionysus did not kill Perseus. The only reference to Perseus' death is a very obscure legend recounted by Hyginus. Pseudo-Hyginus, Fabulae 244 (trans. Grant) (Roman mythographer C2nd A.D.) : "Men who killed their relatives . . . Megapenthes, son of Proetus, killed Perseus, son of Jove [Zeus] and Danae on account of the death of his father." Proetus had been King of Argo and was great-uncle of Perseus; Megapenthes was also a King of Argos.
