Scylla And Charybdis

In Greek mythology, Jason and the Argonauts pass between the ravening monster Scylla (left) and the whirlpool Charybdis with the help of Thetis and her sea nymphs, circa 1200 BC. The goddesses Hera and Athena watch from a cloud, and the god Hephaestos from a nearby mountain. An engraving by Joseph Anton Koch after Asmus Jakob Carstens. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
