Description
While often seen in modern depictions as sor of marine hydra, Scylla was orignialy depicted as sort of mermaid with canine heads growing out of her waist. www.theoi.com/image/P27.1Skyll…I played a bit with that idea, making the top head sort of human/lamprey hybrid and six mutated animalistic, extendable heads growing out below it.
SCyla ate six friends of Odysseus.
I really like ODyssey.

Why Circe? They were different characters.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Circe was the one who cursed Scylla; she started out as a sea nymph, but there was a love triangle involved and things got out of hand as per usual in Greek myth.

I see.. I think in some other versions of the myth somebody else did this.. Poseidon or his wife.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In the version I heard, Poseidon was having an affair with Scylla (a sea-nymph) and Poseidon's wife Amphitrite found out, turning Scylla into...this by poisoning the river water.
But I did some research and apparently there IS another version where Circe, envying Scylla (Scylla was loved by Glaucus and Circe loved him also: love triangle!), turned her into...this.

FREAKING AWESOME! I really like the Odyssey, too.

It was one of my favourite myths. And it inspired some cool dreams to.

Agreed. And yes, I've seen some of the creatures in those dreams!

Yeah. More dream things hopefully to be drawn.

Fantastic rendition! I love how you tried to incorporate canine elements into the heads -- per the description in the poem. I LOVE the Odyssey!

I like it very much too. I find the voyage stories such like Odyssey or Voyages of Sinbad were really influential for me and inspired some pretty cool dreams

Śmiało mogę powiedzieć, że to chyba najbardziej oryginalny (szczególnie ostatnimi czasy) wygląd Scylli.
Świetny "ludzki" łeb w centrum, z paszczą tak rozwartą jakby cała reszta wyrastała z gardzieli (choć widzę że to tylko złudzenie optyczne). I do tego te człekokształtne łapska (pamiętam, że wg niektórych wersji z jej ciała miało wyrastać takich zdeformowanych, bezużytecznych tkanek nawet kilkanaście). Widzę też, że polubiłeś ogon Cetusa.
Trochę się kojarzy z łapą Sfinksa z opowiadania Lovecrafta "Under the Pyramids", w Polsce wydanej jako "Uwięziony wśród faraonów".

"I can safely say that this is probably the most original (especially recently) look Scylla. Great "human" head in the center, with mouth gaping as if all the rest grew out of the gorge"
Rough translation from Google translate, for amy who are on mobile.

Gratuluję spostrzeżenia cetusowego ogona. Być może zauważyłeś, że hydra ma podobny. Staram sięukazać jakieś pokrewieństwo między tymi istotami.
Niestety nie czytałem.. w jakim tomie to jest?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Chyba w "Górach Szaleństwa" - to pierwszy tom opowiadań i przy okazji pierwsze opowiadanie Lovecrafta jakie czytałem.

Mhm.. nie widzałem chyba w ogóle tego wydania
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ecsmedia.pl/c/w-gorach-szalens… - okładka zbioru znalezionego w bibliotece publicznej.
Swoją drogą szkoda że w Polsce nie przerabia się prozy Lovecrafta ani nawet Poe jako lektur, a przecież obydwaj mieli nie mniejszy wpływ na literaturę niż Tolkien (a z pewnością mieli większy wpływ niż "Bracia Lwie Serce", których kazali mi przerabiać chyba jako pierwszą lekturę. Żeby tak namawiać nieopierzonego uczniaka do pięknego samobójstwa - miodzio xD)

I've seen lots of depictions of Scylla, and yeah, most of them do look like simple marine hydras, rather than dog-headed mermaid things.
Once again your grotesque imagination has conjured up an image that is both creatively-designed and kept in spirit of its source material. I'm not sure how this thing can swim, but it is still very sleek and slimy and streamlined in appearance, and I love how its heads are dog-like while not being completely like a dog!

Haha, that's what I am always trying to do - stay faithful to the source yet warp it in a grotesque way... Judging by your kind comment I suppose I've managed this time. Thank you!
