The monster that took six of Odysseus's men was Scylla. Scylla is depicted as a sea creature with multiple heads, and she dwells in a narrow strait opposite the whirlpool Charybdis. When Odysseus and his crew sailed past her lair, she snatched six of his men from the ship. This encounter is part of Odysseus's journey home in Homer's epic, "The Odyssey."
