Aeacus
Aeacus is one of the judges of the underworld. He once was the king of the island of Aegina. He was beloved by the gods. He is most famous for praying to the gods for more people after his kingdom was desolated by diseased. The gods answered by turring ants into people, dubbed the Myrmidons. The Myrmidons went on to be led by Achilles in the Trojan war. After his death he was made into one of the judges of the underworld, along with Rhadamanthys and Minos.
