Greek mythology
Athenea was bathing in a spring with the nymph Chariklo, who was a particular friend of hers. When the young Teiresias (son of Chariklo), who was hunting on the mountain with his dogs, happened to come to the spring to quench his thirst, he accidentally saw Athenea naked. She blinded him right away (because of the divine law: if a mortal sees a immortal naked with out his agreement, he will be deprived of his eyesight forever). Chariklo cried out in reproach and distress. When she asked her to restore his sight, she was unable to do so, but compensated him instead by enabling him to understand the language of birds.
(10199) Chariklo walks the path of zen: accepts and interacts with everything that appears, adapting and flowing with life, like in "The Alchemist", an allegorical novel by Paulo Coelho first published in 1988; or in the movie "Titanic" (1997).
The innocence that comes from a deep experience of life is childlike, but not childish. The innocence of children is beautiful, but ignorant. It will be replaced by mistrust and doubt as the child grows and learns that the world can be a dangerous and threatening place. But the innocence of a life lived fully has a quality of wisdom and acceptance of the ever-changing wonder of life. (Osho-Zen Tarot, 1994)
Paulo Coelho, author of the book "The Alchemist" (1988), has Chariklo in Scorpio (7th Moon-Node House) in conjunction with Jupiter; in binobile with Venus in Leo (10th Moon-Node House); and sextile with the Black Moon in Capricorn (5th Moon-Node House), which is in novile with the Moon.

Fox, actor in the movies "Back to the Future" (1985, 1989, 1990), has Chariklo in Aquarius (7th Moon-Node House) in trine with the Crossing Point of Age Progressions (Signs Horoscope) in Gemini (3rd Moon-Node House), which is in conjunction with the Sun and in sextile with Mars in Leo (1st Moon-Node House).

Greek mythology
Rhadamanthus was a judge of the underworld.
From a symbolic point of view, underworld means "after death", which implies that Rhadamanthus is oriented to cases that were closed during life or never opened, like in the Japanese anime "Judge (Yami No Shihookan) " (1991).
The main theme of (38083) Rhadamanthus is to obtain the truth about something left in the past, like at the beginning of the movie "The Matrix" (1999), or "Sixth Sense" (1999).
Interviews and interrogatories

In other words, (38083) Rhadamanthus is an expert in interrogating difficult subjects.

(49036) Pelion is related with areas of hidden dangers, such as jellyfish in the sea, spiders in the forest, or infiltrated individuals in urban areas, like in the movies "Anacondas 2: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid" (2004), "Blade" (1998), "Matrix" (1999) or in some episodes of "X-Files" (1992).
