More literally, between a rock and a whirlpool. From the Dicitionary of 
Phrase and Fable: "Scylla and Charybdis are employed to signify two 
equal dangers. Thus Horace says an author trying to avoid Scylla [the 
rock] drifts into Charybdis - in other words, in seeking to avoid one 
fault, he falls into another."
