Answer:

Strange creatures

Step-by-step explanation:

Odyssey is an epic poem written by the Greek poet of antiquity, Homer. The poem, probably created between the 9th and 7th centuries BC, tells the adventures of the hero Ulysses, on his return to Ithaca after the Trojan War.

Between Lines 11-23 of this poem we can see the existence of strange creatures. The presence of these creatures is a strong characteristic of this type of poem. In these lines, the strange creature is called Calypso, a nymph, who saved Ulysses when his ship was shipwrecked.
