Scoti
A people mentioned, together with the Picti, by the later Roman writers as one of the chief tribes of the ancient Caledonians.
They dwelt in the south of Scotland and in Ireland; and from them the former country has derived its name.
Scylla and Charybdis. The names of two rocks between Italy and Sicily. In the one nearest to Italy was a cave, in which dwelt Scylla, a daughter of Crataeis, a fearful monster, barking like a dog, with twelve feet, and six long necks and heads, each of which contained three rows of sharp teeth. The opposite rock, which was much lower, contained an immense fig tree, under which dwelt Charybdis, who thrice every day swallowed down the waters of the sea, and thrice threw them up again.
