✔ 最佳答案
Turkey has a whole cast of vivid characters = 土耳其有一整班(演出)生動角色的演員陣容。

cast = 演員陣容,班底 (當你看完一齣戲後,通常都會列出所有演員及所演的角色,你會見到 cast 這個字,香港人會稱之為「卡士」), 在這情況下 cast 是collective noun,即是說它指一齣戲劇的所有演員(類似 staff 或 faculty 的用法)

文中把土耳其的歷史比喻為一齣戲,所以把土耳其的歷史人物比喻為戲中的角色。

delight - 指使人暢快的事情或物件
Turkish delight - 土耳其小吃/甜品(請參看http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Delight)

From ancient empires to the invention of Turkish delight, ...
從古帝國到土耳其小吃的發明...(意思是:從土耳其的最大到最瑣碎的歷史事件)

Turkish delight 是土耳其的一種甜品,是外沾糖霜之橡皮糖
