Key Points

- Mortal Kings who in death are now Underworld judges

Brief Bio

The Underworld judges, typically depicted as three figures, are not a single, unified entity in Greek mythology.  They judged the deeds of the deceased and created the laws that governed the underworld.

Key figures commonly associated with judging the dead:

• Minos:  A powerful king of Crete, renowned for his justice and often seen as a primary judge. Minos was the judge of the final vote.

• Rhadamanthus:  A brother of Minos and King of Crete, also known for his impartiality in judging the dead. Often paired with Minos, he'd consider the deceased's life choices and likely had a specific area of judgment he oversaw. Rhadamanthus was Lord of Elysium and judge of the men of Asia.

• Aeacus: Another brother of Minos, less frequently cited as a primary judge, but still respected for his fairness.  Aeacus was the guardian of the Keys of the underworld and the judge of the men of Europe. 

It's important to note that the specific roles and responsibilities of these judges can vary across different myths and accounts, and aren't always clearly defined.  Their function was to assess souls, but the exact process and criteria were often left to the storyteller's interpretation.
