PartXVI-Catullus64

Syrtis- Quicksands and shoal water off the coast of North Africa.

Scylla- The daughter of Phorcys she was remarkable because of her beauty. Circe changed her into the Render and she seized sailors and cracked their bones before slowly swallowing them.

Charybdis- The whirlpool between Italy and Sicily in the Messenian straits. She was the daughter of Mother Earth and Neptune.

Summary: Catullus then continues to talk about how she can't believe she fell for him and asks what force of nature spat him up and let such a man walk the earth and let him do this to her.
