@bardmoss @VoxOfGod in the Odyssey, she was a monster under the sea who caused a giant whirlpool.

Odysseus was advised by whatshername, the nymph, to pass by Scylla because then he'd lose at most 6 men, rather than Charybdis, which would kill everyone. But you know, he had the worst luck ever, so the current took him to Charybdis after he survived Scylla anyway 😅

Edit: from Wikipedia:

"Three times a day, Charybdis swallowed a huge amount of water, before belching it back out again, creating large whirlpools capable of dragging a ship underwater. In some variations of the story, Charybdis was simply a large whirlpool instead of a sea monster."

I wanna know what spoilsport would change it from a belching sea monster to just a whirlpool. I bet they're fun at parties.*

*I don't do parties, so I don't actually care how fun they are.

This seems like a very Mastodon question.

What was the Ship of Theseus actually called?

I ask, because I'm now very close to having replaced every component on one of my bikes, and I need to know what to rename it to.

Going to throw it in as a potential #bikeNitePQ - What's your bike called?

Great news for niche interest, Greek mythology loving, musical theatre kids as 'EPIC: The Musical ', the sung-through concept musical adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey, that started as a self-funded project by Jorge Rivera-Herrans and a small group of amazingly talented young people he brought together, blending rock opera with pop and modern electronic music, is getting an animated movie. The entire nine-part arc is such an impressive feat made with love, and the success is very much deserved.
