I was left alone on the ship and at the dawn I
found myself back at the narrow passage of Skylla
and Charybdis. But it was not meant to escape from
the latter. Charybdis swallowed great amount of sea
water and everything that floated. I managed to hold
on from a fig tree, that grew at the cave’s opening
where the monster was hiding. After a while
Charybdis threw up parts of my ship and I used them
to escape. Thankfully Zeus didn’t want me to meet
Skylla again, that was at the other side of the passage
and I was saved from death.
