The Lotus Eaters are a people that Odysseus encounters in his journey. The Lotus Eaters lived on an island eating lotuses for food. Unfortunately, the lotuses are so delicious that any of Odysseus' crew that ate the lotuses no longer cared about getting home or what would happen to them. Odysseus forces his crew to leave the island immediately.

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.
