Charybdis was a sea monster or goddess whose gigantic whirlpool swirled in the straits of Messina, opposite the cliffs of the monster Skylla. She was probably the goddess of the tides, with her triple drawing-expulsion, mentioned by Homer, representing the three high-low tides of the day. Aristotle also clearly identified her with the tides.
Kharybdis was probably identical to Keto Trienos (the Sea-Monster Three-Times), who was the mother of Skylla and grandmother of the Sicilian giant Polyphemos.
Charybdis is described as a daughter of Poseidon (or Pontus) and Gaea, and as a voracious woman,who stole oxen from Heracles, and was hurled by the thunderbolt of Zeus into the sea, where she retained her voracious nature.
