Aeacus
In Greek mythology, Aeacus (Greek: Aiakos, "bewailing" or "earth borne") was king in the island of Aegina in the Saronic Gulf. He was far-famed for the righteous sense of piety and justice with which he ruled over his people and his judgment was sought all over Hellas, so much so that, after his death, he was appointed one of the judges of the shades in Erebus, with Cretan Minos and Rhadamanthus.
