Scylla is a less serious threat because she has six heads, so she can only kill six people at a time. Whereas Charybdis is basically a massive whirl pool able to kill countless people at the same time. In the time is takes Scylla to kill six men, Charybdis can, and will, kill thirty men in three ships.


Why does Circe consider Scylla a less serious threat than charydbis?

Because Charybdis, being a whirlpool, would destroy Odysseus' entire ship and subsequently, all of the men on it. Scylla, on the other hand, would only kill the men that she could snatch up. Therefore, if Odysseus were to pass closer to Scylla, more of his men would survive.


Which of the two Scylla or Charybdis was the lesser of two evils why?

Scylla was considered the lesser of two evils compared to Charybdis. Scylla was a six-headed sea monster that posed a physical threat to sailors, while Charybdis was a whirlpool that could devour entire ships. Navigating through Scylla's six heads may have been safer, as it was possible to lose only a few crew members, whereas Charybdis could easily destroy an entire ship.
