Answer:
This aspect of ancient Greek culture is symbolized in the passage in the following way:
A. The Sirens appear enchanting, but they are lethal.
Explanation:
Ulysses, the Sirens, and Circe are all characters in the famous epic poem "The Odyssey" by Greek poet Homer. Ulysses, also called Odysseus, takes several years to finally go back home after the Trojan War. During his journey, he runs into monsters, witches, and enchanted creatures.
The Sirens are what we usually call mermaids. They are used in the passage as a symbol to represent the two different aspects of the sea: its beauty and its deadliness. The Sirens at first appear enchanting. They are beautiful and sing a most appealing song. However, they are lethal. Their song seems to hypnotize men and lure them to their death by drowning. The same can be said of the sea. It lures people with its immensity and beauty, but it also kills them.
Both A and C are correct.
