Charybdis or Scylla
Added 2025-04-29 20:31:10 +0000 UTC(A minor redesign of an old drawing : Tomber de Charybde en Scylla)
"Tomber de Charybde en Scylla" (To fall from Charybdis into Scylla) is a French expression originating from the adventures of Ulysses. During his journey, he must sail near the fearsome whirlpool of Charybdis but chooses to avoid it by steering toward the monstrous Scylla.
This expression is used when someone tries to escape one danger only to fall into another, equally threatening.
And you, what would you choose? Would you face Charybdis or Scylla?

2025-04-29 20:42:51 +0000 UTCThe reason Ulysses makes that choice is because the whirlpool would kill EVERYONE while Scylla would only kill a few people if they where lucky. So…. It’s really a no brainer. Although I do applaud you for making a whirlpool look cute. Well done sir.
