The Lotus Eaters treated Odysseus and his men with hospitality, offering them the lotus plant to eat. However, the lotus had a narcotic effect that caused the men to forget their homes and desires to return to Ithaca. This led to some of Odysseus's crew becoming lethargic and unwilling to leave the island. Ultimately, Odysseus had to forcefully bring them back to their ship to continue their journey.
