When working on a project of two or more conflicting elements and your hands are full so you can't do anything reffering to the greek story of the Oddesy.

The saying "between a rock and a hard place" originated from the Greek mythological episode of Scylla and Charybdis. It refers to being stuck between two equally difficult or dangerous situations with no clear way to escape.

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.
Scylla and Charybdis are both Greek monsters. They both killed travelers. Scylla ate travelers and Charybdis drowned them by making whirlpools.
Charybdis was a sea monster in Greek mythology that was in the form of a whirlpool. She was paired with Scylla, another sea-monster that sailors didn't want to encounter. "Between Scylla and Charybdis" means having to choose between two dangers, either of which brings harm.
To pass between Scylla and Charybdis in modern language means to navigate a difficult situation where you are faced with two equally challenging or dangerous options. It refers to being caught between a rock and a hard place, or dealing with a dilemma with no easy solution.
David Hugo has written: 'Between Scylla and Charybdis'
He chooses Scylla over charybdis because if they go to charybdis they would all die, but if they go to Scylla only six would die because Scylla has six heads and six mouths to eat with.
Odysseus actually had to face both. He was forced to navigate a channel between two towering rocks where he had to, first fend off Scylla, then survive Charybdis. He was the only one who made it out alive.
Charybdis was a giant monster, that sucked in water, creating a whirlpool, and Scylla was another monster, whose cave was high on a cliff, that had a small amount of space for a ship to sail through without being killed by Charybdis, though this was just as deadly because Scylla would launch one of her heads down and snatch up sailors, eat them, then go for another.
