Another, too, must we with loathing name,
Skylla, with blood defiled.[434]
Who for the sake of foes a dear one slew,
Won by the gold-chased bracelets brought from Crete,
The gifts that Minos gave,
And knowing not the end,
Robbed Nisos of his lock of deathless life,
She with her dog-like heart 610
Surprising him deep-breathing in his sleep;
But Hermes comes on her.[435]
