Rhadamanthys

Rhadamanthys was the son of Zeus and Europa and a brother of Minos, who was praised for his piety, justice, and wisdom. Rhadamanthys married Hercules' mother Alcmene after her first husband Amphitryon died. Later legend makes Rhadamanthys the judge of the dead along with Aeacus and Minos.
