@jammywho21@David_Da_Boss It wasn't really a choice, it was guidance from Tiresias/Circe. Choose Charybdis and you'll be the lone survivor, choose Scylla and lose 6 men. Similar to the Oxen of the Sun, you WILL die if you eat, so he didn't.
@jammywho21@David_Da_Boss It's not even a dilemma. You HAVE to avoid, it's certain death, which makes you fall into Scylla's lair. As says the Latin proverb, "Charybdi in Scyllam incidi" (having escaped Charybdis I fell into Scylla). Between losing all your men or losing six, from the evils, the lesser.
@WhyMaxSo_iLL@IddyOddy@David_Da_Boss Well, he had to do Scylla anyway, and that wasn't great either. There's no way he couldn't make a cooler depiction of Scylla and Charybdis, the main post idea of "Just avoid it" should be null. It should feel you have to choose between two living disasters.
