Scylla

(Scyl′la). A beautiful nymph who excited the jealousy of Neptune’s wife, A mph i trite, and was changed by the godde into a frightful sea-monster, which had six fearfully ugly heads and necks, and which, rising unexpectedly from the deep, used to take off as many as six sailors from a ve el, and carry them to the bottom of the sea. An alternative danger with the whirlpool, Charybdis, which threatened destruction to all mariners. “There on the right her dogs foul Scylla hides, Charybdis roaring on the left presides.” Virgil.
