This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

It was a typo. I meant Typhon's daughter, Cilinia/Scylla. At the end of 
"Return to the Whorl", Silk travels with Scylla-in-Oreb (essentially, 
the last remnant of Scylla). She is in the form of a  young girl. She 
says she named herself Scylla after the megatherian with whom she was 
conspiring against her father (the "other" [ahem] Scylla conspired with 
King Minos against her city and her father, King Nisus.)

Then, big Scylla (apparently) absorbs little Scylla. So it is possible 
that the did eventually become one (as the mythical Scylla's undoubtably 
were as well).
