I think this because in the book there is two monsters named Scylla and Charybdis, Scylla is a monster who has six heads and if you go near her she will take six of your best means to eat one for every throat. Charybdis is a monster who make a whirlpool and sucks you in the whirlpool and then spits you back out again. This terrible sea it shapes the characters by making them alarm to what to come.
