	Scylla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sextus Pompeius denarius, depicting the Pharus of Messina and Scylla.
		Scylla is one of the two sea monsters in Greek mythology (the other being Charybdis) which lives on one side of a narrow channel of water.
		It has been suggested that the myth of Scylla may have been inspired by real life encounters with giant squid (which are normally dying when near the surface), and she has some similar features to the kraken in Norse mythology and lusca in Caribbean mythology.

	Scylla 1, Greek Mythology Link.
		Scylla 1 is one of the monsters found on each side of the strait of Messina, between Italy and Sicily, the other being Charybdis.
		But when Glaucus 7 declared her love to Scylla 1, she, not being able to decide whether he was a monster or a god, fled from him, and he, wounded by her refusal, sought Circe, hoping that this witch, with the help of her magic herbs, would make Scylla 1 to love him.
		Since that time Scylla 1, from her cliff, became a pest to all sailors, and those who escaped Charybdis, who was on the cliff on the other side of the strait, became her victims, as occurred to several of Odysseus' companions, whom she devoured.

	Charybde and Scylla
		Furthermore, scylla and charybdis are induced under hypoxic conditions and scylla is a target of Drosopohila HIF-1 (hypoxia-inducible factor-1: Similar) as is its mammalian counterpart RTP801/REDD1, thus establishing a potential cross-talk between growth and oxygen sensing (Reiling, 2004).
		Evidence is presented that scylla and charybdis, like some of their mammalian homologs, are induced by hypoxia and that Scylla and Charybdis act as partially redundant negative regulators of growth by controlling S6K but not PKB activity (Reiling, 2004).
		It is suggested that scylla and charybdis are induced in response to external stress stimuli (e.g., hypoxia and starvation) to inhibit growth downstream of PKB but upstream of Tsc1/2.

	SparkNotes: Ulysses: Episode Nine: “Scylla and Charybdis”
		Like Odysseus, Stephen sails closer to Scylla, and thus Stephen’s thoughts and theories owe more to Aristotle’s grounded, material, logical sense of the world (symbolized by the rock) than to Plato’s sense of unembodied concepts or ideals (symbolized by the whirlpool).
		Like Odysseus, Stephen cannot sail too close to Scylla’s rock, though, and the threat of extreme materialism is represented by Buck and his physically based humor.
		Though Stephen himself seems to be the Odysseus figure for a time in the “Scylla and Charybdis” episode, in the schematic of Shakespeare, Bloom seems to be the father figure (Shakespeare) and Stephen, the son (Hamlet).
