And in the other cliff was Charybdis, who thrice a day drew up the water and
 spouted it again. By the advice of Circe he shunned the passage by the
 Wandering Rocks, and in sailing past the cliff of Scylla he stood fully
 armed on the poop. But Scylla appeared, snatched six of his
 comrades, and gobbled them up. And thence he came to Thrinacia, an island of the Sun, where kine were
 grazing, and being windbound, he tarried there. As to the adventures of Ulysses in
 Thrinacia, the island of the Sun, see Hom. Od.
 12.127-141 ; Hom. Od.
 12.260-402 . But when his comrades slaughtered some of
 the kine and banqueted on them, for lack of food, the Sun reported it to
 Zeus, and when Ulysses put out to sea, Zeus struck him with a
 thunderbolt. See Hom. Od. 12.403-425 .
