MUTATI ARTUS: SCYLLA, PHILOMELA AND THE END OF SILENUS' SONG IN VIRGIL ECLOGUE 6.

The article focuses on the true character of Scylla and how Virgil's Eclogue 6 tends to describe her. In the last portion of Eclogue 6, accordingly, Virgil describes Scylla as the Homeric sea monster and is the daughter of Phorcys and Cratais. In another piece, however, Virgil points out that Scylla is the daughter of the Megarian king Nisus and has been known for her betrayal of her father. The author balances the conflict by asserting that the Homeric Scylla and the Megarian Scylla is one and same. The author explains that the betrayal act of Megarian Scylla has become the reason why she was transformed into Homeric monster.
