Pendant Charybdis

The sea monster Charybdis was believed to live under a small rock on one side of a narrow channel. Opposite her was Scylla, another sea monster, that lived inside a much larger rock. The sides of the strait were within an arrow-shot of each other, and sailors attempting to avoid one of them would come in reach of the other. To be "between Scylla and Charybdis" therefore means to be presented with two opposite dangers, the task being to find a route that avoids both. Three times a day, Charybdis swallowed a huge amount of water, before belching it back out again, creating large whirlpools capable of dragging a ship underwater. In some variations of the story, Charybdis was simply a large whirlpool instead of a sea monster.

Τόσο η Χάρυβδη όσο και η Σκύλλα εμπλέκονται στους μύθους του Οδυσσέα και των Αργοναυτών, οι οποίοι πέρασαν από τα στενά αυτά με μικρές απώλειες.

Όταν ο Οδυσσέας και οι σύντροφοι του έπρεπε να περάσουν από το πέρασμα που κατοικούσαν η Σκύλλα και η Χάρυβδη, η Κίρκη είχε συμβουλεύσει τον Οδυσσέα να περάσουν από την πλευρά της Σκύλλας, διότι αν παρασέρνονταν στα νερά της Χάρυβδις ούτε ο θεός Δίας δεν θα μπορούσε να τους σώσει.
