I have a few possibilities. All page numbers are Robert Fagle's translation of the Odyssey- paperback, copyrighted 1996. If you look it up on Amazon you can search for key words inside the book.
On p. 274, Scylla is called "the yelping horror"
On p. 278, Scylla is called "ghoul of the cliffs"
Keep in mind that every translation is going to be a little different. For example, Athena is known as the grey-eyed goddess, the sparkling-eyed goddess, or the owl-eyed goddess, depending on which version you read.

Scylla is actually Greek for "*****" (still is in modern Greek.)
I think she actually had a name at one point, but I don't remember what it was. Then somebody got mad at her and turned her into some dog-headed monster-type.
It's been a while since I read this stuff.
Oh, well.

I think you mean: epithet
(descriptive word or phrase)
