	Charybdis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Greek mythology, Charybdis, or Kharybdis ("sucker down", Greek Χάρυβδις), is a sea monster, daughter of Poseidon and Gaia (mythology), who swallows huge amounts of water three times a day and then spouts it back out again, forming an enormous whirlpool.

	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.

	"Scylla and Charybdis" - notes
		"Scylla and Charybdis" is set in the late 1870s and introduces the three protagonists of the Stalky stories, Corkran (later nicknamed 'Stalky'), M‘Turk (called here McTurk, and already nicknamed 'Turkey') and 'Beetle' (Kipling himself).
		So it seems likely that Kipling was dissatisfied with the way "Scylla and Charybdis" was developing as the opening story, and put it by while writing "Stalky" and the other tales that appeared and were collected at that time.
		The manuscript of “Scylla and Charybdis” is in a bound volume, 370 mm x 280 mm x 35 mm, one of Rudyard Kipling’s mss given by his widow, Carrie Kipling, probably in 1936 or 1937, to the Trustees of the Imperial Service College.
