Charybdis is the whirlpool that Odysseus' crew avoid after sailing past the Sirens.
It was a choice between sailing past Scylla, or chancing Charybdis, who 'sucks the dark waters down. Three times a day she spews them up, and three times a day she swallows them down once more in her horrible way."
Odysseus decided it was 'far better to lose six of your company than your whole crew.'
