The cultural associations of dogs being ravenous, the sea being dangerous, and women being threatening are all active. 

Betrayal is an important theme that represents Scylla. She had been betrayed by Poseidon, due to his favoritism for her. His wife noticed this and poisoned the waters in which Scylla bathed. This transformed her into a monster with 6 heads and multiple rows of sharp teeth.]]> 2022-12-20 04:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cpdo101/me2kgcgwkrs6bmad/wish/2425431997 Painting of Scylla cpdo101 https://padlet.com/cpdo101/me2kgcgwkrs6bmad/wish/2425434119 2022-12-20 04:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cpdo101/me2kgcgwkrs6bmad/wish/2425434119 History and Background anuong100 https://padlet.com/cpdo101/me2kgcgwkrs6bmad/wish/2425932674 Scylla didn't start out as a 12-foot-tall supernatural woman. Her origins fall back to an unrequited love triangle involving two other Greek gods named Glaucus and Circe. Glaucus asked Circe for a love potion to use on Scylla. Scylla was a beautiful, almost normal-looking creature at the time, and since Circe was in love with Glaucus she didn't want him falling for Scylla. Circe used her witchcraft to curse a love potion which she gave to Glaucus, who then gave it to Scylla to drink. She grew into an abnormal size with six dogs heads for legs. She resided by the water and controlled whirlpools of the sea.

"Circe, who was in love with Glaucus herself, gave him a drink that turned Scylla into a monster."]]> 2022-12-20 16:03:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cpdo101/me2kgcgwkrs6bmad/wish/2425932674 Works Cited anuong100 https://padlet.com/cpdo101/me2kgcgwkrs6bmad/wish/2425936695 The Hindu. “The Story of Scylla and Charybdis, Two Monsters From Greek Mythology.” The Hindu, 2 Nov. 2020, www.thehindu.com/children/the-story-of-scylla-and-charybdis-two-monsters-from-greek-mythology/article33001020.ece.

When Odysseus and his men try to pass, the Greek god Circe advises he deal with Scylla and her six dog heads rather than Charybdis' whirlpools. When Odysseus passes, each of Scylla's dog heads takes a man. After eating 6 of his men, Odysseus is allowed to pass. 

"[Scylla] is a six-headed monster lurking in an overhanging, fog-concealed cavern. She cannot be defeated in battle, and she will devour at least six of the Greeks, one for each of her hideous heads that feature triple rows of thickset fangs."]]> 2022-12-20 20:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cpdo101/me2kgcgwkrs6bmad/wish/2426146224 Picture of Scylla cpdo101 https://padlet.com/cpdo101/me2kgcgwkrs6bmad/wish/2426151093 2022-12-20 20:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cpdo101/me2kgcgwkrs6bmad/wish/2426151093
