The men who eat the lotus become very content and forget about returning home. They have to be dragged back to the ship by Odysseus so that they will not stay on the island forever, only desiring to eat lotus.
Odysseus ties his men to the benches and tells them to row.
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.
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.
That is "lotus eaters," encountered by Odysseus and his crew in the Odyssey.
His men have eaten an addictive plant with drug-like effects which seduces the men to stay on the island of the Lotus-Eaters

There are only really a few of Odysseus' men who are under the hold of the lotus flower. When they refuse to leave Odysseus has them tied up and forced onto the ship. As the ship sails away from the land of the lotus-eaters the men gradually recover and get their will-power back. Hope this helps ;)
