Scylla and Charybdis

(Atalanta)

We faced the two monsters Scylla and Charybdis today. The two sisters were very fierce; Charybdis instilled fear in my men by pulling our ship towards her whirlpool, and Scylla plucked sailors off my ship, eating them viciously. Finally, when we got past the monsters, we landed on the island of Helios' cattle. I originally didn't want to come here because of Tiresias' and Circe's warning, but my men were tired and all wanted to take rest on this island. They have taken vows to not eat Helios' cattle, but I don't know how long we can last; our food supply is running thin.
