One passage was the Sympligades and the other, from which they finally chose to cross its straits, was that of Scylla and Charybdis. The monstrous bitch lived in a cave, in the middle of a very high and issue rock. She had 12 legs and six high necks, which supported her scary Heads, while with three rows of sharp teeth in each mouth she cut her victims.

Odysseus knew the danger but did not say anything to his companions, so as not to frighten them. He ordered them to keep walking next to the dog's rock and he rode up to the bow, To face her. As they passed in front of her with bated breath, Charybdis sucked into the sea from the opposite rock and pulled it out with force, causing great sea turmoil. While everyone was frozen from their fear, Scylla suddenly appeared and grabbed six brave men and ate them. Rowing hurriedly and quickly, the rest of Odysseus' companions managed to escape and escape.
