"Galactica Illusion!" - Aiacos's Attack
Garuda Aiacos is the Third and Final Judge, Specter and Loyal Servant to Hades (Saint Seiya). He represents the Garuda and battles by using multiple eyes he creates to read their minds and counteract their attacks. His most faithful allies are Wyvern Rhadamantys and Griffon Minos, the other two judges of Hades. Aiacos, according to Greek Mythology, helped build the walls of Troy and was the grandfather of the hero Achilles. He was the son of Zeus and the maiden Aegina, whom Zeus had kidnapped from the river god Asopus, her father. When Zeus's wife, Hera, learned of the affair, she located the island that Zeus had left Aegina upon (Zeus named the island in honor of Aegina) and brought a plague down on it, killing everyone except Aegina and her son Aeacus. Aeacus prayed to the gods for guidance, and spotted some ants out of the corner of his eye. Inspired, he asked the gods to repopulate the island with as many people as there were ants in a colony. His prayer was answered; the ants were changed into humans: the Myrmidons, whom Achilles would later bring into battle in the Trojan War. Upon his death, Aeacus became one of the judges of the Underworld. Aiacos specifically judges the dead from the west. Aiacos is one of many warriors no one wants to keep on eye for, because he look out for you anyway.
