Was danae punished or rewarded

Danae, in Greek mythology, was punished by her father, King Acrisius, who locked her away in a tower to prevent a prophecy that her son would kill him. However, she was ultimately rewarded when Zeus visited her in the form of golden rain, resulting in the birth of her son Perseus. While her initial circumstances were punitive, her eventual connection to Zeus and the birth of a hero can be seen as a form of reward. Thus, Danae's story reflects both punishment and reward.
