Card Trivia:Reptilianne Scylla


 * This card is based on the mythical Scylla, a sea monster that was featured in the stories of both Odysseus and the Argonauts. She made her lair on one side of a narrow straight, opposite another sea monster named Charybdis. Scylla had six serpentine heads and a lower body that consisted of twelve fierce dogs. If a ship ventured too close to her, six of its crewmen would likely fall victim to her ravenous appetite. If a ship tried to avoid her by steering away, it would likely fall victim to Charybdis. The popular phrase "between a rock and a hard place" is attributed to these two monsters.
