No; with a Crete Women/Naucrate he had Icarus and Iapyx.

Icarus is a part of Greek Mythology. Icarus tried to escape from Crete with wings made of wax from his father. Icarus didnÍt hollow his fatherÍs instruction to not fly close to the sun and when he did his wings melted and he fell in to the sea and drowned.
Icarus is not a God. He was a mortal, who along with his father, tried to escape from Crete with the use of Wax wings. Icarus flew to close to the sun, and his wings melted, I believe. He fell to his death.

Icarus is a fictional character from Greek mythology. His date of birth is not recorded.
