In Greek legend Radamanthys was one of the three judges of Hell, originally human, appointed by Hades for his impartiality.
According to the legend he judges the souls from Asia, Aeacos judges the souls from Europe and Minos renders the final judgement.
In the Japanese cult anime series Saint Seiya, by Masami Kurumada, Radamanthys is still a Judge of the Underworld wearing the Surplice of Wyvern, and represents the Strong and Violent Terrestrial Star.
