Why did Zeus turn Charybdis into a whirlpool?
Charybdis is described as a daughter of Poseidon (or Pontos) and Gaea, and as a voracious woman, who stole oxen from Heracles, and was hurled by the thunderbolt of Zeus into the sea, where she retained her voracious nature.
What is charybdis and what does she do?
Charybdis is a giant, enormous, dangerous whirlpool. Charybdis is a female and lives in the water. She is the daughter of Poseidon and Gaia. On the opposite side of Charybdis lives Scylla, another god who is a sea monster. Charybdis isn't really a "sea monster", shes mostly a whirlpool. She lives under the rocks in the water. There are 2 stories explaining how she ended up in the water, but we don't know which one is true. One story says that Charybdis had stolen Hercules' cattle and Hercules told Zeus, so Zeus hit her with a thunderbolt, making her a giant, dangerous whirlpool, only to live in water. The other story is that Poseidon had created storms, and Charybdis would make the waves of the water rise, flooding and destroying the cities and villages, making Zeus so mad, that he punished her by putting her in the water. She swallows the water 3 times a day, and then she throws it back up, causing a whirlpool. This pretty much explains who Charybdis is, hope it helped! ;-)

How did Charybdis turn into a monster?
Charybdis was once the beautiful daughter of Poseidon and Gaea. She was once of her father's most ardent supporters in his never-ending feud with Zeus over territory, so whenever Poseidon would bring storms, she would charge the coast and gobble up huge amounts of land for her father. Eventually Zeus became upset with her and changed her into a monster.
