No. The Greek mythical hero Perseus was not abandoned. He was actually thrown into a crate with his mother, Danae, and they floated to another city where a fisher married Danae. Perseus became a hero and he saved princess Andromeda from being a sacrifice to a sea monster. Myths say that when he killed the monster, blood stained the sea, and the Red Sea is red to this very day.
