Scylla (daughter of Nisus)

[4] As the story goes, Nisus possessed a single lock of purple hair which granted him and the city invincibility.

When Minos, the King of Crete, invaded Nisus's kingdom, Scylla saw him from the city's battlements and fell in love with him.

The story of al-Nadirah told by al-Tabari and early Islamic writers are considered by Theodor Nöldeke to be derived from the tale of Scylla.

[6] Scylla appears in Alexander Pope's mock-heroic "Rape of the Lock" as part of an extended representation of gallant chatter round a card table in the guise of a heroic battle: Ah cease, rash youth!

desist ere 'tis too late,Fear the just gods, and think of Scylla's fate!Chang'd to a bird, and sent to flit in air,She dearly pays for Nisus' injur'd hair!
