Why did Circe turn Scylla into a monster?
Circe turned Scylla into a monster out of jealousy and vengeance. In Homer's "Odyssey," Scylla, a beautiful nymph, attracted the attention of the sea god Glaucus, who was in love with her. When Scylla rejected Glaucus's advances, he sought Circe's help to win her over, but instead, Circe fell in love with him. In retaliation for Scylla's rejection and to punish her, Circe transformed her into a hideous sea monster, forever cursed to terrorize sailors.
How did Scylla become a monster?
Scylla grew up a beautiful maiden nymph, the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto. One day while she walked along the water's edge a man turned sea-god, Glaucus, spotted her. He lusted after her, but, in she did not return that love. A jealous Circe, who was in love with Glaucus herself, got pissed and used herbs to magically poison the water and transform poor Scylla. She was human to the waist, but below that were biting snapping dogs. She had become a monster. She sat on the Italian side of the straits of Messina gobbling up anything that came within her reach. In The Odyssey, Odysseus manages to avoid Charybdis (see above), but loses six men to Scylla. Scylla probably explained a partially submerged rock that ships foundered on.
