Teacher:In this task you will be given a text passage from a trivia quiz. You should choose the category this question belongs to from these categories: History, Science, Social Science, Fine Arts, Literature. You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: These figures were the handmaidens to the young Persephone before she was abducted by Hades. These
beings almost caused the death of Butes before he was saved by Aphrodite. They are sometimes considered
the daughters of Achelous, and their names are given as Peisinoe, Aglaope, and Thelxiepeia. Orpheus' lyre
saved the Argonauts from them. In the Odyssey, they are encountered shortly before Scylla and Charybdis,
and they inspire Odysseus to tie himself to the mast. For 10 points, name these half-bird women whose
beautiful singing would lure sailors to their deaths.
