He drags the men back to their ships and restrains them until the effects of the lotus wear off. Killjoy!

Drag them and bind them to the ships
the lotus was a plant that beared fruit which some of Odysseus's men ate Odysseus had to physically drag them back to the ship so acctually, he didnt kill the lotus, just helped his men get better after eating it.
No. The Lotus eaters only ate lotus plants and were peaceful.
The lotus that the lotus-eaters ate contained a type of drug. This made the three crew men who ate the lotus very contented, and forgetful of their home land. All three of them wanted to stay and eat lotus forever, and thus had to be dragged back to the ship by Odysseus. Odysseus saved them and they left; they didn't live there forever. Metaphorically, the lotus represents a type of temptation to live the easy life and give up on the journey.

Odysseus sent three men to seek out the inhabitants of the land and see if they were eaters of bread, i.e. civilized people; the three men encountered the Lotus Eaters and found them to be peaceful and in no way hostile; they gave Odysseus' men the honey sweet fruit of the lotus and the soldiers fell into a state of lethargic bliss and lost all desire to return to their ships.
The Lotus-Eaters ate from a plant with heavy narcotic properties. It made Odysseus' men forget about home.
