In Greek mythology Aeacus was the son of Zeus and Aegina. He was been born in the island
of Enone, than subsequently it was called Aegina in honor of his mother. The sad particularitity
of this island was to be completely desert. The prayers of Aeacus came to his father's
(the king of Gods) hearing. So at the end Zeus decided to wear out Aeacus' request to people
the island, but he made it in a truly singular way. Some ants of the island were transformed
in men and for this they took the name of Mirmidoni. Aeacus was considered the more fair
king of its time, so, after he died, he became the judge, with Minos and Rhadamanthus,
of the spirits that came down to the Hell.
