How to beat Scylla and the Sirens in Hades 2

She'll hit you with some wave attacks, like Headmistress Hecate, but will also attempt to hit you with some lesser enemies and area-of-effect attacks.
After defeating them the first time, Scylla will likely revive them, however, after beating them down for a second time, they stay down, leaving Scylla the only thing standing in your way.
