Judgement Circle

The Judgement Circle is an area which belonged to the spirits of Aeacus, Minos, and Rhadamanthus that became "The Three Judges".
==God of War series==
After the kings died, they were made the Judges of the Judgement Circle when Hades contained their souls within the statues in order to guard the Chain of Balance. They would also judge the soul of a superior hero or villain that entered the Underworld while those made their destination to the Island of Outer Planes. The Souls of Heroes that done heroic things were allowed to enter Elysium or choose to be reborn once they travel to the Fortunate Isles, while souls of villains deemed as being evil were sentenced to live in the Outlands.
During the Second Titanomachy, Kratos travelled to the Judgement Circle where he encountered the statues of the Three Judges. King Minos deems that Kratos still has time left, and grants him access to a Hyperion Gate so that he may proceed on. Later on, the Judges grab the Chain of Balance, preventing Kratos from accessing the Flame of Olympus. After rescuing Pandora from the Labyrinth, Kratos returns to the Underworld and smashes the Onyx on the back of their heads with the Nemean Cestus. The spirits of Aeacus, Minos, and Rhadamanthus were able to their powers to rebuild and recontain themselves within their statues later on.
