between Scylla and Charybdis in a situation where you have to choose between two possible actions, but both are dangerous or unpleasant. The phrase comes from the ancient Greek stories of Scylla, a MONSTER, and Charybdis, a WHIRLPOOL (= water that spins around and pulls things down into it), that killed sailors in the sea between Italy and Sicily. People sometimes also use the phrase "between a rock and a hard place" to mean the same thing.
