Scylla & Charybdis - for harp, violin and cello
David Gough

The goddess Circe said: "You must sail between two rocks, one of which rears its sharp peak up to the very sky and is capped by black clouds. Halfway up there is a murky cavern, the home of Scylla. The creature has twelve feet and six long scrawny necks each ending in a grisly head with triple rows of fangs. no crew has sailed past Scylla unscathed, for her heads protrude from the abyss and each snatches and carries off a man from every ship that passes. The other rock is lower. A great fig tree grows upon the crag and below this that dreaded Charybdis sucks the dark water down. Three times a day she spews them up and three times she swallows them. heaven keep you from this spot then - nothing could save you from destruction"
