| Johann Heinrich Füssli's Odysseus between the two foes Scylla and Charybdis, circa 1795 |
But as a barque, that, in foul weather,
Toss'd by two adverse winds together,
Is bruis'd and beaten to and fro,
And knows not which to turn him to;
So far'd the knight between two foes,
And knew not which of them t' oppose.
-- Samuel Butler, Hudibras
