Question

ear friends, more than one man, or two, should know those things Circe foresaw for us and shared with me, so let me tell her forecast; then we die with our eyes open, if we are going to die, or know what death we battle if we can. Sirens weaving a haunting song over the sea we are to shun, she said, and their green shore all sweet with clover; yet she urged that I alone should listen to their song. Therefore you are to tie me up, tight as a splint, erect along the mast, lashed to the mast, and if I shout and beg to be untied, take more turns of the rope to muffle me. Who are the major characters in the passage?

Answer 1

This is from Homer's The Odyssey, correct?

If so then the protagonist is Odysseus, who is saying those lines. Circe was another character who informed Odysseus to plug his ears with wax and have his men tie him to a mast when they passed the Sirens cove. Scylla and Charybdis are two monsters they come across next. After they reach an island, Eurylochus is another character who betrays the team. Zeus punishes the crew after they slaughter sacred cattle.
