House of Dionysos, Paphos, Cyprus (mosaic) by Roman, (3rd century AD); House of Dionysus, Kato Paphos, Cyprus; (add.info.: Traditionally the strait has been associated with the Strait of Messina between Italy and Sicily. The idiom \'between Scylla and Charybdis\' has come to mean being between two dangers, choosing either of which brings harm. There are many stories surrounding the origins of Scylla. Some believe she was once a beautiful naiad who was claimed by Poseidon and turned into a monster by Amphitrite in a fit of jealousy, others that she was cursed by the sorceress Circe and yet many of the classical poets believed she wasn\'t cursed but simple born. ); Prismatic Pictures ; out of copyright.
