Scylla killed and ate six of Odysseus's crew members. In Homer's "The Odyssey," as they pass through the strait between Scylla and Charybdis, Odysseus is forced to confront Scylla, who snatches the men from the ship. Despite his efforts to protect them, the crew members meet their tragic fate.

the monster Scylla has six heads so it eats 6 men of Odysseus, one for each head
It is said Scylla ate thousands of men as they passed by or tried to fight her. In particular, 6 of Odysseus' men were eaten as they came home from the Siege of Troy.
This is basically the Ancient Greek equivalent of being between a rock and a hard place. Charybdis was a large whirlpool, and Scylla was a many-headed monster who snatched sailors off of ships and ate them.
