Aeacus

Contribution by Brennen Acome

Summary

Aeacus was the son of Jupiter and Aegina and the grandfather of Achilles. After his death, he became one of the three judges in the Underworld as a result of his decisiveness and good judgement on Earth. Further, the citizens of Aegina (the Island named after his mother) named him their exclusive deity after his passing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeacus
