What is torn between scylla and charybdis?

"Torn between Scylla and Charybdis" is a popular idiom used to express when a person or group is in a situation where they have to choose between two difficult or dangerous options. It originates from Greek mythology, where Scylla and Charybdis were two sea monsters that lived on opposite sides of a narrow strait. Sailors had to navigate through the strait carefully, as they risked getting caught by Scylla's six-headed dog, or sucked into Charybdis' whirlpool. The phrase is often used to describe a predicament where one option is as bad as the other, hence being "caught between a rock and a hard place."
