Hope & Atrocities: Scylla [LII]

"But of Scylla I was even more terrified, for she was a dreadful monster, with twelve legs all writhing. And eight of them were already equipped with hard dead eyes, while the other four, though fleshy, were deformed, because she used them to get about. She came from Crataiis, a savage monster."

Homer's "Odyssey."
