Scylla and Charybdis are both Greek monsters. They both killed travelers. Scylla ate travelers and Charybdis drowned them by making whirlpools.
Sirens- the lure you into your death with their beautiful singing. Scylla- plucks your sailors out of the sea and eats them. Charybdis- sucks all the water out of the sea.
Odysseus goes through the Sirens by putting beeswax in their ears. Odysseus is tied to the mast while the Sirens are surrounding them and is begging for his soilders to untie him but they don't. He goes through Scylla by just going past it, letting 6 of his men get eaten by Scylla. And he sailed closer to Scylla to get past Charybdis.

The danger posed by the sirens is primarily physical, as they attract sailors with their enchanting voices to shipwreck on the rocks. The danger posed by the lotus-eaters is more psychological, as they tempt sailors to forget their original goal and become complacent with a sedentary lifestyle. Both threats delay the sailors from reaching their destination, but in different ways.

Urban bosses are seen as potential threats due to their influence over local politics, ability to control resources and patronage networks, and potential for corruption and exploitation. They can undermine democratic processes, perpetuate inequality, and hinder development by prioritizing their own interests over those of the public. Their presence can also lead to social unrest and economic instability in urban areas.
Sirens would have sung them to their deaths, or wrecked the vessel along the cliff if a sailor took it in his head to drive the ship to the shore to get to them.
