Tiffany Bautista Nymph daughter of Poseidon and Gaia Believed she was the goddess of tides Flooded lands for Poseidon’s kingdom Zeus turned her into a monster because she had gotten too much land for her father’s kingdom She swallows huge amounts of water and belches them out, three times a day Represents the three high – low tides of the day She lives in a cave at the side of the Strait of Messina, next to Scylla Has a mouth for a face, and her arms and legs are flippers "So with much lamenting we [Odysseus and his men] rowed on and into the strait…fiendish Charybdis sucked the salt water in. When she spewed it forth, she seethed and swirled through all her depths like a cauldron set on a great fire, and overhead the spray fell down on the tops of the two rocks… We had looked her way with the fear of death upon us; and at that moment Scylla snatched up from inside my ship the six of my crew who were the strongest of arm and sturdiest." She is the nymph daughter of Titan Atlas Symbolized to be the force that diverts men from their goals Lived on the island of Ogygia Became smitten with Odysseus Took Odysseus as a lover and granted him immortality if he stayed with her Imprisoned Odysseus so he wouldn’t go back to his wife Odysseus was a prisoner with her for 7 years She had two children with Odysseus Athena complained to Zeus about Odysseus being captured Zeus sent a messenger, Hermes, to persuade Calypso to let Odysseus go She was scared of Zeus’s powers and allowed Odysseus to go home Helped Odysseus build a boat and provided him with food, wine, and good winds "I'm not here because I enjoy crossing the desolate sea," said Hermes. "I bring a message from Zeus: Send Odysseus home.“ "You jealous gods! Can't you bear to see one of us keep a mortal of her own?" cried Calypso. "Oh very well, there's no arguing with Zeus. Hermes rose to take his leave. "And next time, do God's bidding with a better grace." They are the daughters of Achelous, the river god Beautiful creatures that lured sailors with their voices Caused shipwrecks, drowned sailors, and ate them Used to be handmaidens to Persephone Had wings to protect and find Persephone When they failed, DemeterPersephone’s mother, cursed them The song eternally calls for Persephone’s return Personified to be the danger of listening to peers or to others rather than listening to your conscience ‘“Come this way, honored Odysseus, great glory of the Achaeans, and stay your ship, so that you can listen here to our singing; for no one else has ever sailed past this place in his black ship until he has listened to the honey-sweet voice that issues from our lips; then goes on…Over all the generous earth we know everything that happens.” So they sang, in sweet utterance, and the heart within me desired to listen, and I signaled my companions to set me free… straightway fastened me with even more lashings and squeezed me together.” "Charybdis."
