Do you know of any symbols or emblems?
Or a word that is a descendant of Charybdis?Is there a constellation dealing with Charybdis?Charybdis means, "the sucker."
It's a whirlpool.
I don't think there are any words in English derived from Charybdis.
The only reference I can think of right off the bat is "Trapped between the Scylla and Charybdis" from that Police song. Wrapped Around Your Finger? Is that the name?
Since Charybdis was cursed to be a whirlpool, I don't think she got a constellation. Constellations are for honoring people, or for when Zeus feels bad about killing one of his boyfriends, that sort of thing.
Scylla means "the *****." It still means a female dog, or, a ***** in Greek.
No, you didn't luck out in the Charybdis department. Unlike, say, Medusa...Charybdis isn't obscure, exactly, but it's not a popular image.
