Another Brother: RHADAMANTHUS, rad-a-man'thus, according to Greek legend, a son of Zeus and Europa, and brother of Minos, king of Crete. According to another brother tradition, Rhadamanthus laid the foundation of the Cretan code of laws, which his brother Minos completed. From fear of his brother he is said to have fled to Ocaleia in Boeotia, where he married Alcmene. In the belief of the Greeks, a spirit in the lower world continued the business of life; hence Rhadamanthus, after his death, was made a judge in the kingdom of Pluto, or the Islands oi Blessed, on account of the-justice of his life had for his associates Aeacus and Minos, name suggests an Egyptian origin of the myt.
"It's just how great Barbaro is,'' Brother Derek's trainer Dan Hendricks said.
Barbaro is the even-money favorite for the shortest of the Triple Crown races. Brother Derek, the talented California-bred who finished in a dead heat for fourth at the Derby, is the second choice at 3-1, with Sweetnorthernsaint at 4-1 off his seventh-place Derby finish.
Problems do not occur singly. For example, Georgie, eight years old and the younger of two brothers, was a persistent feeding problem. His mother continually tried to force him to eat when his desire for food was low. As a result, eating became an emotional situation. He was retarded in speech and reading, and appeared to enjoy the power over adults that he gained from his failure to talk and read like other children. He may also have sensed his older brother's hostility and have been afraid to succeed in school, lest he increase his brother's hostility toward him. He was restless and nervous. He was disobedient.
