GLAUCO AND SCILLA

Scylla was a blue-eyed nymph who lived in Calabria and used to go to the beach of Zancle and bathe in the sea water. One evening, near the beach, he saw Glaucus appear from the waves, who had once been a mortal, but was now a half-man, half-fish sea god. Scylla, terrified at the sight of her, took refuge on the top of a mountain that stood near the beach. The god, seeing the nymph's reaction, began to scream his love for her, but Scylla fled leaving him alone in her pain. Then Glaucus went to the sorceress Circe and asked her for a love potion to make the nymph fall in love with him, but Circe, wanting the god for herself, proposed that he join her. Glaucus refused to betray his love for Scylla and Circe, furious at having been rejected instead of a nymph, wanted revenge. When Glaucus was gone, he prepared an evil potion and transformed her into a monster.
