Scylla and Charybdis are both Greek monsters. They both killed travelers. Scylla ate travelers and Charybdis drowned them by making whirlpools.
Odysseus goes through the Sirens by putting beeswax in their ears. Odysseus is tied to the mast while the Sirens are surrounding them and is begging for his soilders to untie him but they don't. He goes through Scylla by just going past it, letting 6 of his men get eaten by Scylla. And he sailed closer to Scylla to get past Charybdis.

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.
The sirens lured sailors to their deaths, and ships to their doom, representing a danger at sea. Lotus-eaters represented the danger of a sailor leaving home never to return for finding peace away on some far away shore.
While both groups could bring an expedition to a grinding halt, at least with the Lotus-Eaters, the crew was still alive. The Sirens lured sailors to a death on the rocky coast.
Sirens would have sung them to their deaths, or wrecked the vessel along the cliff if a sailor took it in his head to drive the ship to the shore to get to them. The Lotus-eaters did not cause harm or threaten to kill them but drugged the men into a blissful state from which they did not want to leave.

Yes, Scylla is a female sea monster in Homer's "Odyssey." She is described as having the upper body of a woman and a lower body made up of several dog-like sea creatures. Scylla posed a deadly threat to Odysseus and his crew as they navigated through her territory.
Sirens were mythical creatures in Greek mythology known for luring sailors with their enchanting voices, causing ships to crash on rocky shores. The threat they posed was primarily to sailors navigating dangerous waters, as their irresistible singing led to shipwrecks and death. Their ability to manipulate and mesmerize those who heard them made them a significant danger to anyone passing by their territory.
Scylla's symbol is often depicted as a sea monster with multiple heads, typically seven in total. This image is commonly associated with her role in Greek mythology as a fearsome creature who posed a threat to sailors navigating the waters near her lair.
