In Greek mythology, Scylla[1] (/ˈsɪlə/ SIL-ə; Greek: Σκύλλα, pronounced [skýl̚la], Skylla) was a monster that lived on one side of a narrow channel of water, opposite its counterpart Charybdis. The two sides of the strait were within an arrow's range of each otherso close that sailors attempting to avoid Charybdis would pass too close to Scylla and vice versa.
The strait has been associated with the Strait of Messina between Italy and Sicily.
