Odysseus' crew lost six men when passing Scylla, one man for each head of Scylla.
Scylla snatched 6 of Odysseus' best men as they passed, one for each of Scylla's six heads.
Scylla wasnt a god, she was either a Princess (daughter of Nisus or Megera) or a sea nymph. The most known myth of Scylla is Scylla and Glaucus where she was turned into a monster by a jealous Circe. But otherwise, there is no real symbol for Scylla.
