Now they come to the strait where Scylla and Charybdis live. Scylla is a six-headed monster who lives in a cave above the cliffs on one side of the strait. Charybdis is a fierce whirlpool that lays on the opposite side of Scylla. It is impossible to go through unharmed.

Well, the ship safely steers around Charybdis and then come to Scylla where they lose six men by the six mouths of the monster. Alittle battered, they sail on.
