Skylla was a monstrous creature in the Greek mythology, said to haunt a narrow channel with Charybdis on the other side of it.
Influence
During the 5th century BCE a region of Argolis on the Peloponnese was known as the Promontory of Skylla. Multiple buildings also throughout Greece bore murals depicting Skylla.[1]
When the Adrestia and her crew were approaching the Pirate Islands, specifically Keos, Herodotos joked about Barnabas' suggestion for carefulness with a comment about Charybdis and Skylla waiting at the bottom of the sea. Barnabas corrected that the reason for care were the pirates patrolling the seas around the islands.[1]
Trivia
- To be "between Scylla and Charybdis" is an idiom akin to "between a rock and a hard place."
- A cosmetic pack for the ship Adrestia can be bought from the Helix Store called Charybdis & Skylla Naval Pack, featuring Skylla as the figurehead as well as on the sail in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.
- Skylla and Charybdis feature in Homer's Odyssey.
