Lessons from The Odyssey, Book XII. Scylla and Charybdis
Odysseus talking to Circe. Kirke - Kirk - Circe Church (controller of a flock of animals.
"Three times in the day does she vomit forth her waters, and three times she sucks them down again; see that you be not there when she is sucking, for if you are, Neptune himself could not save you; you must hug the Scylla side and drive ship by as fast as you can, for you had better lose six men than your whole crew.'
"'Is there no way,' said I, 'of escaping Charybdis, and at the same time keeping Scylla off when she is trying to harm my men?' *
Here is one of the lessons we cover. Odysseus wants there to be a third choice. There often isn't a third choice. No one will offer you one, do you have to choose between a bad choice and a worse choice. This is a LIFE lesson. The Odyssey is filled with them. I cover 3 of them here in this Video Lesson.
