Charybdis Charybdis N F :: Charybdis (whirlpool Sicily/Italy); cruel person; whirlpool; tortuous cavity

Wikipedia EN

Charybdis (/kəˈrɪbdɪs/; Ancient Greek: Χάρυβδις, pronounced [kʰárybdis], Kharubdis) was a sea monster in the Greek Mythology, which was later rationalized as a whirlpool and considered a shipping hazard in the Strait of Messina.

The sea monster Charybdis was believed to live under a small rock on one side of a narrow channel. Opposite her was Scylla, another sea monster, that lived inside a much larger rock. The sides of the strait were within an arrow-shot of each other, and sailors attempting to avoid one of them would come in reach of the other. To be "between Scylla and Charybdis" therefore means to be presented with two opposite dangers, the task being to find a route that avoids both. Three times a day, Charybdis swallowed a huge amount of water, before belching it back out again, creating large whirlpools capable of dragging a ship underwater. In some variations of the story, Charybdis was simply a large whirlpool instead of a sea monster.

The theoretical size of Charybdis remains unknown, yet in order to consume Greek ships the whirlpool can be estimated to about 23 meters (75 ft) across. Charybdis has been associated with the Strait of Messina, off the coast of Sicily and opposite a rock on the mainland identified with Scylla. Were Charybdis to be located in the Strait of Messina, it would in fact have the size to accommodate the whirlpool. A whirlpool does exist there, caused by currents meeting, but it is dangerous only to small craft in extreme conditions.

Wikipedia EL

Η Χάρυβδη ή Χάρυβδις ή ρουφήχτρα ή θαλάσσια δίνη σύμφωνα με το λεξικό Λίντελ-Σκοτ, όνομα αμφίβολης ετυμολογίας, είναι θηλυκό τέρας της ελληνικής μυθολογίας. Θεωρείται θυγατέρα του Ποσειδώνα και της Γαίας. Κατοικούσε στην ασιατική ακτή του πορθμού του Βοσπόρου (στην ευρωπαϊκή ακτή κατοικούσε ένα άλλο τέρας, η Σκύλλα) και ρουφούσε το νερό της θάλασσας τρεις φορές την ημέρα, καταπίνοντας μαζί διερχόμενα πλοία και ναυτικούς, και άλλες τρεις φορές έφτινε αυτό που ρουφούσε κατεστραμένο. Αργότερα οι μυθογράφοι μετέφεραν την κατοικία των δύο τεράτων στον πορθμό της Μεσσήνης μεταξύ Ιταλίας και Σικελίας.

Τόσο η Χάρυβδη όσο και η Σκύλλα εμπλέκονται στους μύθους του Οδυσσέα και των Αργοναυτών, οι οποίοι πέρασαν από τα στενά αυτά με μικρές απώλειες.

Όταν ο Οδυσσέας και οι συντρόφοι του έπρεπε να περάσουν από το πέρασμα που κατοικούσαν η Σκύλλα και η Χάρυβδη, η Κίρκη είχε συμβουλεύσει τον Οδυσσέα να περάσουν από την πλευρά της Σκύλλας, διότι αν παρασέρνονταν στα νερά της Χάρυβδις ούτε ο θεός Δίας δεν θα μπορούσε να τους σώσει.
