scylla
i think scylla is not a hydra because in mythology it never points out that if you chop off her head it grows back. Plus there are theories that scylla was once a beutiful gilf that was turned into a monster.
In Greek mythology, Scylla was not killed but rather transformed into a rock by the sorceress Circe. Scylla was turned into a monster with multiple heads and she dwelled in a narrow strait where she attacked passing ships.
Scylla
The creature that creates whirlpools in Greek mythology is Charybdis, she has a sister named Scylla who has snakes for hands.
In Greek mythology, Scylla was often depicted as a sea monster or nymph with twelve legs and six heads. She was known for snatching sailors from ships passing through the Strait of Messina. Scylla would consume these unfortunate sailors to satisfy her insatiable hunger.
Scylla and Charydis are both water monsters from Greek mythology. Charydis is a monster whirlpool that swallows ships, and Scylla simply plucks the ships out of the water from her perch on a mountain
Scylla became a monster in Greek mythology as a result of a curse from the sea goddess Circe. According to the myth, Circe transformed Scylla into a hideous creature after Scylla rejected her advances. This transformation left Scylla with multiple dog heads and a fierce disposition, turning her into a fearsome being that terrorized sailors, particularly in the Strait of Messina, where she is famously depicted in Homer's "Odyssey."
Scylla's symbol was a sea monster with multiple heads and tentacles. It was often depicted in ancient Greek art and mythology as a fearsome creature that terrorized sailors passing through her waters.
Scylla may refer to the princess of Megara, or the monster that lived on one side of a narrow passage of water. Both are figures in Greek Mythology. The princess Scylla betrayed her father Nisos, king of Megara, in order to win the heart of king Minos. Minos had invaded Megara, and Scylla helped him win the battle by removing the lock of her father that provided invisibility. Her love for Minos however wasn't reciprocal. The monster Scylla lived on one side of a water passage. The monster Charybdis on the other. If sailors wanted to avoid Scylla they sailed to close to Charybdis, and vice versa. It can be seen as an allegory for having to choose between two dangers.
