In the land of the lotus-eaters there were lotus flowers that poisoned the mind. Once the lotus leaves were eaten, you were addicted to it and would lose your mind and your will to do anything else.
Surviving and coming home, the main ones were the ciccones, lotus eaters, cyclops, aeolian winds, circe, cattle of the sun, and calypso
Both experiences involve a type of temptation that threatens to lure the men away from their ultimate goal of returning home. In both instances, the men have to resist the irresistible allure of either the enchanting songs of the sirens or the seductive effects of the lotus plant in order to continue on their journey. The encounters with the sirens and the lotus eaters highlight the theme of temptation and the need for self-control in the face of danger.
He went to Lotus-Eaters where his crew forgot there "mission(to go gome to Ithaca)." Then they faced the cyclops, then went to circe's and Calypso, than to Sylla and Charybdis, Land of the Dead, then to Helios cattle, then to Charybdis again(with no crew.)
The Lotus eaters in the Odyssey serve as a warning against succumbing to temptation and losing sight of one's goal in pursuit of immediate pleasure. The episode highlights the importance of self-control and determination in the face of distractions that can impede progress.

No, it is not wise for Odysseus to taunt Polyphemus because it puts him and his crew at risk of retaliation and harm. Polyphemus is a powerful and vengeful creature, and taunting him only escalates the danger they face.
The song of the Sirens hypnotized his men into yearning to sail toward the island at which they resided luring them to their doom.
Odysseus' have to face with a lot of scary thing and dangerous.
The tree that Odysseus used to blind Polyphemus was significant because it was vital in helping Odysseus and his men avoid being eaten by the Cyclops. By using the sharpened tree trunk as a weapon, Odysseus was able to blind Polyphemus and escape his cave. This event also demonstrated Odysseus' resourcefulness and cunning in the face of danger.
Odysseus's display of bravery and intelligence can be seen when he devises the plan to defeat the cyclops Polyphemus in Book 9 of the Odyssey. By introducing himself as "Nobody" and then blinding the cyclops before escaping, Odysseus showcases both his cleverness and courage in the face of danger.
