Rhadamanthys
[Greek] Rhadamanthys was the son of Zeus and Europa. He was the ruler of Crete, but, according to some, had to flee from the island for his brother Minos. He went to Boeotia where he married Alcmene, the former wife of Amphitryon. Because of his honesty and fairness, he became one of the judges in the underworld.
