Following their trip to the Land of the Dead and once past the sirens, Odysseus and his crew continue their voyage on towards Scylla and Charybdis.
At the sound of Scylla's yelps, the oarsman drop their oars and began to cower in fear. In response, Odysseus attempts to build up the confidence of his men by reminding them of how he had saved them from Polyphemus.
Help!!!
Odysseus!!!
However, Odysseus decides not to warn his men about Charybdis, as he believes that they will drop their oars again.
I miss Jeffrey.
As the boat creeps towards Scylla, Odysseus arms himself with two spears, and he ties on his cuirass.
Scylla makes her first attack, and she grabs six of Odysseus' best men. Odysseus helplessly looks up at his doomed comrades as they call for help.
Eventually, the reduced crew and their saddened leader row past the two monsters and enter the open sea.
