Rhadamanthus, in Greek Mythology, the son of Zeus and Europa, and brother of Minos of Crete. He settled in Boeotia, where he married Alcmena. So great was his reputation during life for the exercise of justice that after death he was appointed a judge in the under-world, along with Minos and Aeacus.
