What is Scylla?
'''Scylla''' was a [[sea]] [[monster]] in [[Greek mythology]]. She was said to be the daughter of [[Poseidon]]. Scylla was a water dwelling version of the [[Hydra (mythology)|Hydra]] and the sister of [[Charybdis]]. Some myths explain Scylla's beginnings. One of them says she was one of the daughters of Phorcys the Greek God of the Deep. Another says that Scylla was a very pretty fairy who was liked by [[Poseidon]], but the jealous [[Amphitrite]] turned her into a monster by poisoning the water of the place where Scylla would swim. One says that a jealous [[Circe]] poured a potion into the sea water and then made Scylla transform into a monster with four eyes and six long necks with ugly heads. Her body had 12 [[tentacle]] looking legs and a [[tail]]. She attacked the [[Ship|ships]] of nearby people. In another myth, [[Heracles]] (also known as [[Hercules]]) came across Scylla when traveling and then killed her. The sea-god [[Phorcys]] then restored her to life.
