Odysseus sent two men and the man under them to the land of the Lotus Eaters to see what type of people the Lotus Eaters were, if they were friendly and the like.
No. The Lotus eaters only ate lotus plants and were peaceful.
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.
