“After escaping the tempting songs of the Sirens, Odysseus and his crew had yet another difficult decision to make,” Vinnie said. “Their path would take them through the Strait of Messina between Sicily and Calabria. Not too far from where we sit now. But in this narrow waterway resided two powerful monsters. On the one side of the straight was Charybdis, a wretched sea monster who took the form of an enormous, ugly abalone with a face.

On the other side of the straight was an even more horrifying creature, the six-headed monster known as Scylla. Scylla was a terrible sea goddess who loved to feast on the flesh of sailors who passed too close to her. She had six long, scaly necks with six ugly, wretched heads, and mouths lined with three rows of razor sharp teeth. Teeth that were stained with blood and smelled of rotting meat. Her voice was like a terrible dog that was so loud it would burst a man’s eardrums if he got too close."
