Minotaurs, Cyclopses, Harpies, Hydras, Medusas, Myrmidons, Gorgons, Scyllas etc. in EITHER of these??? :blink: puzzling...

Minotaurs: definitely not
Cyclops: yes, one in the Odyssey (Polyphemos)
Harpies: no, that's Orestes, not Odysseus (or does Orestes get a mention in the Odyssey? I forget)
Hydra: definitely not; that would be Heracles
Medusa: nope
Myrmidons, Gorgons: not that I'm aware of
Scylla: I thought that was in the story of Iason and the golden fleece, but I'm not entirely sure
Circe and Calypso are sorceresses, but they hardly qualify as mythical creatures...
