Scylla killed the six men by snatching them from Odysseus's ship as it passed through the strait between her and Charybdis. As the ship approached, she emerged from her lair, her twelve dog-like heads snatching the sailors one by one. Despite Odysseus's attempts to save them, the men were powerless against her fearsome grasp. This encounter exemplified the perilous challenges he faced during his journey home.

Why does Odysseus choose to sail toward Scylla as opposed to Charybdis?

Odysseus chooses to pass by Scylla because, Scylla will only kill 6 men, one for each head. Charybdis will sink the ship, killing everyone. Circe has also advised Odysseus to do choose Scylla. Further, Charybdis is a visible danger, and Odysseus uses Charybdis to encourage his men to pass by quickly.
