In travail, sobbing, gaining on the current,
we rowed into the strait – Scylla to port
and on our starboard beam Charybdis, dire
gorge of the salt sea tide. By heaven! when she
vomited, all the sea was like a cauldron
seething over intense fire, when the mixture
suddenly heaves and rises.
—The Odyssey,
Homer
