No, Danae (Persues' mother) had no other children. She was kept locked in a tower (away from men) when an oracle predicted that her son would kill his grandfather (Acrisius, king of Argos). However, Zeus visited Danae by a shaft of sunlight (or golden rain) and soon after Perseus was born.

After Perseus and Danae were set adrift in a box by Acrisius, they were rescued by a fisherman named Dictys. Dictys fell in love with Danae, but there the myths do not report any children from this union.
