"Incidis in Scyllam cupiens vitare Charybdim" est versus proverbialis primum fortasse Latine a Gualtero de Castellione saeculo 12 scriptum in carmine suo epico cuius titulus est Alexandreis (lib. 5 v. 301). Proverbium e mythologia Graeca trahitur, in qua Scylla et Charybdis eodem tempore in freto marino nautis Odyssei minantur : haec historia primum Graece in Odyssea narratur. Temporibus recentioribus saepius in forma emendata "Incidit in Scyllam qui vult vitare Charybdim" citatur.[1]

Idem proverbium Francogallice a Ioanne de La Fontaine repetitur in fabula "La vieille et les deux servantes", verbis utens: "tomber ... de Charybde en Scylla".[2] Titulum postea dedit libro parvo ab Octavio Feuillet anno fere 1888 editum.
