Odysseus ties his men to the benches and tells them to row.
Odysseus lost no men on the island of the lotus eaters. He was able to retrieve the 3 men that had succumbed to the lotus' temptation.
2 men and a runner
His men have eaten an addictive plant with drug-like effects which seduces the men to stay on the island of the Lotus-Eaters
Odysseus and his men had been in the land of the Cicons and their city of Ismarus before coming to the island of the lotus eaters. Before that, they fought at Troy.
The men who eat the lotus become very content and forget about returning home. They have to be dragged back to the ship by Odysseus so that they will not stay on the island forever, only desiring to eat lotus.

They ate lotus flowers.
The Island of the Lotus Eaters. At least, I think so.

There are only really a few of Odysseus' men who are under the hold of the lotus flower. When they refuse to leave Odysseus has them tied up and forced onto the ship. As the ship sails away from the land of the lotus-eaters the men gradually recover and get their will-power back. Hope this helps ;)
Three of his men ate the lotus eaters plant and the got stuck to the plant.
lash his men to the benches of the ship
He made his men board the ship immediately.
False. On the island of the Lotus Eaters, Odysseus commands 3 men to go back to the ship, but they will not comply and have to be dragged back.
