Scylla is a mythical creature in Greek mythology that is typically depicted as a multi-headed sea monster located in a narrow strait. It poses a danger to sailors by attacking and devouring them as they pass through the strait. Its presence creates a perilous navigation challenge for ships.
Scylla is on the side of danger and destruction. She is a sea monster that Odysseus must navigate past during his journey, representing the challenges and obstacles he faces on his quest to return home.
Odysseus chooses to go on Scylla's side of the strait because he believes facing the danger of Scylla is a less risky option than facing Charybdis, the whirlpool monster. He hopes to minimize casualties by sacrificing only a few men to Scylla, rather than risking losing the entire ship to Charybdis.
Odysseus inspires his men by reminding them of their past challenges and triumphs, appealing to their sense of duty and loyalty. He is withholding the specific details of Scylla's danger, only telling them that they will face a monster, in order to prevent them from becoming paralyzed by fear.
Odysseus uses intelligence during his encounter with Scylla by strategizing to minimize his losses. Knowing he cannot defeat Scylla, he chooses to sacrifice some of his men to save the ship and the rest of the crew. This demonstrates his cunning and ability to make tough decisions for the greater good.
Arming himself for battle with Scylla provided Odysseus with at least a chance to defend himself and his crew against the monster. While he couldn't defeat Scylla, being armed allowed him to make the best of a difficult situation and focus on minimizing casualties.
