So, yes, I think it highly likely most, and likely all, remained behind on Urth. > -----Original Message----- > From: Greene, Carlton [SMTP:CGreene2@hunton.com] > Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 1999 6:42 PM > To: urth@lists.best.com > Subject: (urth) Scylla -- from Urth to Whorl? > > Is there any connection between the monster Scylla mentioned in the BOTNS > and Typhon's daughter Scyla dealt with in the Long Sun books?
