The questioner will have to define a "major" star. He (or she) may mean a first- or second-magnitude star or a giant, or use some other criterion. Most good star maps will show stellar magnitude, while a directory will reveal stellar class (i.e., whether a star is a giant or not).
Comments: I would say there are about ten stars that would be called "major stars" in terms of their apparent magnitude, perhaps about 25 at most.

"Magnitude" is usually indicated for individual stars, not for an entire constellation like Eridanus.
