Petraea

Petraea (gr. Petraia) in Greek Mythology is the name of one of the Oceanides, and also occurs as a surname of Scylla, who dwelt in or on a rock. 357 (Hes. Theog. 357 ; Homer Odyssey xii. 231.)


I took two long spears
and moved up to the foredeck of the ship,
where, it seemed to me, I could see Scylla  
as soon as she appeared up on the rock
and brought disaster down on my companions.
Odyssey xii.
