Whirpool god CHARYBDIS!
Scylla and Charybdis
"Odysseus was told by Circe that he would have to sail pass two great hazards. On one side was a whirlpool, called Charybdis who would sink the ship. However on the other side of the strait was a monster called Scylla, daughter of Cratais with six heads who would seize and eat six men. The advice was to sail close to Scylla and lose six men. Odysseus initially queried this advice and asked if he could fight Scylla but was told not to. However, he did not dare tell his crew of the sacrifice, or they would have cowered below and not rowed and everyone would have ended up in Charybdis. Six men died and Odysseus announced that the desperate cries of the wretched betrayed men were the worst thing he had ever known. Undoubtedy this affected morale and left the survivors feeling mutinous."
