Zeus found out and cursed Charybdis to become a sea monster. Many accounts states that Charybdis was created by the Greeks to explain the natural phenomenon of whirlpools they have encountered. "Charybdis aided her father Poseidon in his feud with her paternal uncle Zeus and, [she] helped him engulf lands and islands in water. Zeus, angry over the land she stole from him, captured and chained her to the sea-bed. Charybdis was then cursed by the god into a hideous bladder of a monster, with flippers for arms and legs, and an uncontrollable thirst for the sea (Wikipedia:Charybdis)."]]> 2018-12-10 04:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jlguray100/ze4hv8gairjv/wish/312770675 Appearance in The Odyssey jlguray100 https://padlet.com/jlguray100/ze4hv8gairjv/wish/312771035 Odysseus finds himself between two gigantic monsters: Scylla and Charybdis.
