Can anyone help me please
I think No 9 Charybdis 9 letters id Seamonster but that has 10
Am I wrong or is it a mistake on quiz paper
Many thanks

Charybdis could also be described as a Leviathin synonymous with any large sea monster or creature.

[Phil7]

Surely, Charybdis was turned into a whirlpool not a sea monster. So "Maelstrom" for 9 letters.

[jillie]

Many thanks but I am now confused

[shaneystar2]

I would go with Phils' answer of Maelstrom ..as this is more "watery" ... having only just realised this is a quiz about watery things !

[jillie]

Thanks I agree

[smouse]

now I am confused I put whirlpool

[Phil7]

Yes, various references do vary, but favour sea-monster. However, it's incarnation or danger is by creation of Maelstroms.

I would say that the phrase "between Scylla & Charybdis" takes the latter as a whirlpool.
