Did Scylla have any enemies?
Yes, Scylla had enemies, most notably the sea god Glaucus. In Greek mythology, Glaucus fell in love with Scylla, but she rejected him. In his desperation, he sought the help of the sorceress Circe, who, spurned by Glaucus, poisoned Scylla out of jealousy, transforming her into a monstrous creature that terrorized sailors. This act solidified Scylla's enmity with Circe, as well as her tragic fate as a fearsome adversary in the sea.
What is the symbol of the Greek god Scylla?

Why did Circe turn Scylla into a monster?
Circe turned Scylla into a monster out of jealousy and vengeance. In Homer's "Odyssey," Scylla, a beautiful nymph, attracted the attention of the sea god Glaucus, who was in love with her. When Scylla rejected Glaucus's advances, he sought Circe's help to win her over, but instead, Circe fell in love with him.

How did Scylla become a monster?
Scylla grew up a beautiful maiden nymph, the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto. One day while she walked along the water's edge a man turned sea-god, Glaucus, spotted her. He lusted after her, but, in she did not return that love. A jealous Circe, who was in love with Glaucus herself, got pissed and used herbs to magically poison the water and transform poor Scylla. She was human to the waist, but below that were biting snapping dogs. She had become a monster. She sat on the Italian side of the straits of Messina gobbling up anything that came within her reach. In The Odyssey, Odysseus manages to avoid Charybdis (see above), but loses six men to Scylla. Scylla probably explained a partially submerged rock that ships foundered on.
