    Summary

    Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 4. 786 & 825 ff (trans. Rieu) (Greek epic C3rd B.C.) :

    "'...Do not let my friends be so unwary as to fall into Charybdis, or at one gulp she will swallow them all. Nor let them go too near the hateful den of Ausonian Scylla, the wicked monster borne to Phorkys by nigh-wandering Hecate, whom men call Crataeis—or she may swoop down, take her pick and destroy them in her terrible jaws. What you must do is so to guide the ship that they escape disaster, if only by a hair's breadth.’"

    A story of seven boys, just trying to find their way home.
