The external conflict in "The Odyssey" involving Calypso, Lotus Eaters, Cyclops, Circe, Sirens, Scylla and Charybdis, and the cattle of the sun god primarily revolves around Odysseus trying to return home while facing various obstacles and temptations.

How does Odysseus use intelligence with his encounter with Scylla?

He shows intelligence by listenng to circe and not trying to fight either of the monsters, but staying closer to scylla because charybdis can take the hole ship while scylla can only take 6 men at a time."In Homer's Odyssey XII, Odysseus is given advice by Circe to sail closer to Scylla, for Charybdis could drown his whole ship: "Hug Scylla's crag-sail on past her-top speed! Better by far to lose six men and keep your ship than lose your entire crew"[6] she warns, and tells Odysseus to bid Scylla's mother, the river nymph Crataeis, to prevent her from pouncing more than once. Odysseus then successfully sails his ship past Scylla and Charybdis, but Scylla manages to catch six of his men, devouring them alive." (Wikipedia).


What good did it do Odysseus to arm himself for a battle with scylla?

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.
