Lotus Island is an island that is 0.2 miles long and is home to cannibal tribes. It is very dangerous to go to because the tribes are gay and they will most definitely rape you.
The Island of the Lotus Eaters. At least, I think so.
The Lotus Eaters came from the island that was called the land of the Lotus Eaters.
They ate lotus flowers.
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.
In Greek mythology, this could refer to the land of the lotus eater, an island where the inhabitants are peaceful and eat lotus all day. Odysseus visits this island on his return home from Troy, in the Odyssey.
The lotus came from the old Greek legend of Jason and the Argonauts. In the legend, Jason and his sailors landed on an island with lotus flowers all over the place. Whoever ate the lotus flowers would forget who they were and what they were doing on the island in the first place. The Lotus Casino was a modernized version of this.
"The Odyssey" by Homer references lotus flowers in the episode of Lotus Eaters, where Odysseus's crew encounters a land of lotus-eaters who feed them lotus flowers that cause them to forget their desire to return home and remain trapped on the island.
No it was not, this was just in the movie, however, there were people who were called the lotus eaters who lured people to their island, and when they were there, they would never wanted to leave. As Percy Jackson is a modern story about Greek Mythology i guess they modernized the Lotus Eater's island to the Lotus casino, the place that lured people so that they never wanted to leave
In Greek mythology the lotus-eaters (the lotophagi or lotophaguses) were a people who lived on an island near North Africa where lotus plants grew. The lotus fruits and flowers were the primary food of the island and were narcotic, causing the people to sleep in peaceful apathy. Odysseus' twelve ships were driven off course by storms. They visited the island of the lotus-eaters who gave two of his men their fruit which caused them to forget their homecoming. These two men were captured by the cyclops Polyphemus, but escaped by blinding him with a wooden stake
The Lotus Eaters were not described physically in Greek Myth. I don't know what they looked like, but they would convince you to want to stay on there island with the lotus flowers.
Odysseus dragged the three men back to the ship and tied them down, warning no one else to eat the lotus. When everyone was back they sailed off, escaping the island.
The Lotophagi, or Lotus-Eaters, were a group living on a small island off the coast of North Africa that was dominated by Lotus plants. The seeds and flowers of the Lotus are edible, but contain a narcotic, so that the people eating would become lethargic and apathetic.
