Letters to the editor April 23

I remember sitting in Dick Chapman’s entertaining Mythology course at Flathead High in 1982. The teacher illustrated the ancient concept of the dilemma. Odysseus returning home from the Trojan War consulted an Oracle before sailing through the Bosporus. The Oracle foretold that the ship would encounter the giant whirlpool Charybdis on one side, or the nine-headed monster Scylla on the other. Scylla would claim nine lives if Odysseus passed that way. Charybdis would either claim none or all of the ship’s sailors. Odysseus chose the path of Scylla for he knew he could not risk the entire ship and crew. He placed himself at the head of the ship and fought Scylla furiously but in the end, as foretold, nine of his fellow sailors were tragically lost.
