RHADAMANTHUS (Gr. Rhadamanthys)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 230 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
RHADAMANTHUS (Gr. Rhadamanthys) , in
Greek
  mythology, son of Zeus and Europa and brother of
Minos
 , king of
Crete
 . Driven out of
Crete
  by his brother, who was jealous of his popularity, he fled to Boeotia, where he wedded Alcmene.
Homer
  represents him as dwelling in the Elysian
fields
  (Odyssey, iv. 564). According to later legends, on account of his in-flexible integrity he was made one of the
judges
  of the dead in the
lower
  world, together with
Aeacus
  and
Minos
 . He was supposed to judge the souls of Asiatics,
Aeacus
  those of Europeans, while Minos had the casting vote (Plato,
Gorgias
 , 4244).
