| | Scylla and Charybdis, the adventures, travels and pistures of Ulysses from Homer's Odyssey |
 | | She dwelt in a cave high up on the cliff, from whence she was accustomed to thrust forth her long necks (for she had six heads), and in each of her mouths to seize one of the crew of every vessel passing within reach. |
 | | While Ulysses and his men watched with anxious eyes the dreadful whirlpool, they were not equally on their guard from the attack of Scylla, (Incidit in Scyllam, cupicns vitare Charybdim.) and the monster, darting forth her snaky heads, caught six of his men and bore them away shrieking to her den. |
 | | After passing Scylla and Charybdis the next land he would make was Thrinacia, an island whereon were pastured the cattle of Helios, the Sun, tended by his daughters Lampetia and Phaethusa. |
