Because they did not want to return home
The lotus eaters did not kill Odysseus's men, but they did pose a significant threat to them. When Odysseus's crew encountered the lotus eaters, they consumed the intoxicating lotus flower, which caused them to forget their desire to return home. As a result, the men became lethargic and unwilling to continue their journey, effectively endangering their mission and lives. Odysseus had to intervene and bring them back to the ship to escape the influence of the lotus.
The Lotus Eaters treated Odysseus and his men with hospitality, offering them the lotus plant to eat. However, the lotus had a narcotic effect that caused the men to forget their homes and desires to return to Ithaca. This led to some of Odysseus's crew becoming lethargic and unwilling to leave the island. Ultimately, Odysseus had to forcefully bring them back to their ship to continue their journey.
