How does Odysseus use intelligence with his encounter with Scylla?
He shows intelligence by listenng to circe and not trying to fight either of the monsters, but staying closer to scylla because charybdis can take the hole ship while scylla can only take 6 men at a time."In Homer's Odyssey XII, Odysseus is given advice by Circe to sail closer to Scylla, for Charybdis could drown his whole ship: "Hug Scylla's crag-sail on past her-top speed! Better by far to lose six men and keep your ship than lose your entire crew"[6] she warns, and tells Odysseus to bid Scylla's mother, the river nymph Crataeis, to prevent her from pouncing more than once. Odysseus then successfully sails his ship past Scylla and Charybdis, but Scylla manages to catch six of his men, devouring them alive." (Wikipedia).
