Scylla and Charybdis
by Bill Tsouvalias (6th grade)

They are two mythical Sea creatures who live in two opposite cages in the Sicily straits of Gibraltar. Scylla is a monster with six heads. She eats big fish and people who travel with their boats near her cage. So, she managed to eat Odysseus’ companions. Charybdis looks like a mermaid, meaning that she is half a woman and half a fish. She lives opposite Scylla and she sips water of the sea with everything in it.
