Odysseus meets Scylla and Charybdis

A clip from the 1997 TV movie. Starts with Penelope weaving her shroud. I actually like the changes made here- with making the crew meet Scylla in a confined cave and having them drop of into Charybdis over a waterfall. The original setting in the book is good as well.
The Odyssey is very important to me, because my dad used to read me a kids version with beautiful illustrations when I was young. I also frequently watched the 1997 movie. This month I read through the proper version of the Odyssey for the first time, and it made me want to go back and see if the TV movie I loved so much as a kid still holds up...
My consensus as an adult is that its still good but does have some flaws, the main one of course being the limited budget. However most of the cast is really good! Specifically, I really liked the portrayals of Odysseus, Athena and Eurymachus. Also the main theme is nice.
Christopher Lee is in this movie, and Eric Roberts, who plays Eurymachus, is the brother of Julia Roberts and the father of Emma Roberts

Can you imagine falling in the water right after Charybdis was done and submerged and seeing it right underneath you underwater as it slowly opens its mouth back up?

Indeed! Greek monsters were almost comically fearsome at times. The phrase "between a rock and a hard place" that we use today to denote a situation between an awful factor and something even worse is actually based on a much older phrase, "between Scylla and Charybdis." In the Odyssey, Odysseus was advised to stick closer to Scylla's side of the strait because Scylla usually only devoured 6 sailors at a time, whereas Charybdis would suck in and destroy entire ships. Even then though, Scylla sometimes decided to strike more than once. 😁 Truly a spine chilling scenario.

@eltarlantezos 5 месяцев назад

It's worthy to mention that those two monsters were located in the opposite shores in the narrow east exit between Sicily and the Italian peninsula.

@stainshield 2 дня назад

Yes, because Circe warned Odysseus about them, and she told him that him that it was better to lose 6 men to Scylla than to lose everything to Charybdis and yet The Miniseries had Odysseus lose his crew to Charybdis in a Waterfall after coming out of Scylla's Lair in The Cave.

Pretty brutal way to go. Escape one monster and get devoured by the next. That's rough for Odysseus too witnessing the loss of his ship and crew after all they'd been through. And the only fault they made was sailing with a great man who was cursed to see those around him die.

Charybdis was originally depicted as a giant whirlpool, and so the decision to make it an actual massive sea monster in the movie makes it so much more terrifying. It really makes me wonder what it looks like under the ocean surface...

@kitajecafrica5814 12 дней назад

Scylla in hellenic means female dog. It is pronounced Skyla. The sky sounds like the sport "ski". In myth Scylla was a woman turned into a monster so the name fits perfectly. The whining of a female dog and the name to follow it.

@Battleshipfan if you hear a helpless baby crying at an open space (because originally they do not enter a dark cave) wouldn't you wonder what baby is that and why it's crying? Perhaps the baby was at the arms of a woman survivor of a sunken ship. Maybe worse. Either way hearing a baby cry in the middle of nowhere might as well make some people wanna look

Just listened to EPIC:the musical and the song called Scylla. It goes a different route where the crew and Ody go through Scylla and avoid the whirlpool cause anyone would pick the lesser of two evils. But i had to look this clip up cause i watched this about 1 1/2 years ago in language arts and while listening to the song i was like "wait but i thought they encountered both and everyone died besides ody?"

Ancient Greek monsters are the best. Scylla was generally depicted in 2 ways. In Homer's description, she was a mass of flesh on a rock, bearing 4 eyes and having 6 heads with nothing on them but gaping mouths, each full of 3 rows of razor sharp teeth. 😅 She would typically only eat 6 sailors who passed by, one for each head, but would occasionally strike more than once. In the second depiction from ancient pottery and the like, she was a beautiful woman from the waist up, but had writhing serpentine tentacles growing from her waist, along with the heads of 3 vicious dogs. 😅 I always thought it was strange to have dog heads on a sea monster. Sharks or something would have been more fitting. Still cool though.

@veigar1999 2 месяца назад

the version with the dog heads around her waist is a refrensce to her name "scylla" meaning female dog in greek but its mostly used to describe a vile/terrible woman , basicly calling them a bitch but in greek XD

@sirnarwhal9911 2 месяца назад

The dogs are most likely added in because something sounded like "barking" as sailors lose their lives to this incident. In The Wild Hunt, Norse believed in an otherworldly party abducting people through a snow storm sometimes with the announcement of hounds and lightning. So when the Greeks made Scylla part dog, they probably mistake the sound of thunder for barking.

@kingbeef66 7 месяцев назад

The funny thing is, I think I’m dreading of seeing or imagining what the whole body of both Scylla and Charybdis look like, since we only see Scylla’s snake like hydra heads and Charybdis’ mouth which are scary enough.

@alexandrefrauches132 Месяц назад

Too bad they exclude the Sirens and the Helios island as part of the obstacles. The sirens part is one most iconic in the story and the Helios Island helps to showcase the religious/mythological aspect of the poem: Much like the wind bag, Helios Island is another challenge Odysseus failed because of the crew actions (in this case they ate animals that belonged to the god Helios), resulting in the gods killing them and destroying their ship. Only Odysseus survive because he refuse to eat the animals, obeying the gods rules.
