The myths of Muses, Charybdis and Olympus in Greek Mythology.
Everywhere you go you see some type of Greek Mythology, it is loved by many because of the history and culture. Gods and Goddesses play the most important role because without them there wouldn't be any greek mythology. As a result to the Gods and Goddesses there is also monsters and supernatural creatures. These things become monsters because of “Curses” that are put on them.

Scylla, if you got too close to her rocks and she would eat six of your men, or you could lose all of your men plus your ship if you went near Charybdis. So you had to choose one way or another. Charybdis lurked under a fig tree so she is unnoticeable going your way towards her causing many fatalities. The shipwreck in the odyssey, Odysseus barely escaped his clutches by clinging to a tree until the improvised raft that she swallowed floated to the surface again after many hours. Charybdis is the daughter of Pontos which means sea and Gaia which means earth who laid siege to the land with her waves. Zeus, in anger, captured and chained to the sea-bed. She wasn’t always this way, Originally she was Naiad, a water nymph, and goddess of the tide. In this form, she served her father as something of a conqueror in his quest for dominance of sea over land. Poseidon would create storms on the sea which his daughter would ride onto the land, flooding and inundating towns, forests, and beaches alike. She dwelt in the Strait of the Messina where all sailors all end up at going to a specific place. Charybdis love and admired her father, So when her father Poseidon went to war with the great god Zeus and stirred up great storms, Charybdis rode the tides, leading the water onto beaches. In this way the sea swallowed up villages and fields and forests and towns, claiming these for the god of the sea. “Scylla” and “Charybdis” are the name of the two rocks between Italy and Sicily.
