Her Mother, Crataeis, the goddess of sea dangers. Her father, the King Nisus of Megara.

“The shipwrecked Odysseus [attempted to escape Scylla by] clinging to a tree until the improvised raft that she swallowed floated to the surface again after many hours” killing all the sailors on the ship.

If sailors travel to close to either side of the strait of Messina, they will perish. Scylla would grab and eat the unwary sailors immediately, killing them.]]> 2018-12-10 17:06:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mhnguyen140/6ntmcq89vm6/wish/313038856 Themes/Ideas mhnguyen140 https://padlet.com/mhnguyen140/6ntmcq89vm6/wish/313044008 "Having to choose between two evils" is an idiom that is sometimes used in a conversation to compare two things. This phrase is used in choosing of two things that are equally difficult or bad luck relating to how the sailors have to choose the path of Scylla or Charybdis. 

Charybdis is viewed as a whirlpool, and Scylla is viewed as a three headed deadly monster.]]> 2018-12-10 17:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mhnguyen140/6ntmcq89vm6/wish/313044008 Works Cited naalberto100 https://padlet.com/mhnguyen140/6ntmcq89vm6/wish/313045663 “MONSTERS OF THE WEEK -- Scylla and Charybdis.” The Spiral Staircase, sarahdeming.typepad.com/spiralstaircase/2009/10/monsters-of-the-week-scylla-and-charybdis.html.
