Circe told him about the Siren and Scylla and Chrybdis
The Sirens, Scylla and Charybdis.
Circe told him to.
Circe advise Odysseus to sacrifice 6 men by sailing quickly past Scylla and avoiding Charybdis altogether.
Circe warns Odysseus that Scylla is too powerful to fight directly. She advises him to sail quickly past her, sacrificing a few of his men to her instead of engaging in a battle he cannot win.
Sail on the side of Scylla thereby sacrificing only 6 men instead of the entire ship.
Circe counsels Odysseus against engaging Scylla in battle because Scylla is a terrifying sea monster with multiple heads that could prove too difficult to defeat without sustaining heavy casualties. Circe advises Odysseus to choose the lesser of two evils by avoiding a direct confrontation with Scylla, as losing some of his men to her would be better than risking the entire crew in a futile battle.
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. Finally, passing by Scylla and Charybdis is given as the only way for Odysseus to get home from where he is.
Odysseus's adventures in this section, particularly with the Sirens and Scylla and Charybdis, are often considered more perilous and psychologically intense than his encounters with the Cyclopes and Circe. The Sirens pose a unique challenge that tests his resolve and self-control, while Scylla and Charybdis present a dire choice between two evils, highlighting the theme of leadership and sacrifice. Compared to the physical confrontations with the Cyclopes and the transformative experience with Circe, these latter adventures delve deeper into the complexities of temptation and the moral dilemmas inherent in his journey home.
