Located on the strait between the Italian peninsula and Sicily, the waters surrounding the narrow passage were fraught with danger. According to Greek mythology, Scylla, a six-headed monster, lived in a cave on one side of the strait, while Charybdis, a deadly whirlpool, lurked on the other. Sailors attempting to navigate these treacherous waters risked being devoured by Scylla or sucked into the vortex of Charybdis. This beautifully detailed map, with its intricate illustrations and meticulous labeling, invites us to explore the mythological and historical significance of this infamous location.
