Yes, the Lotus Eaters posed a significant threat to Odysseus and his men. When they encountered the Lotus Eaters, some of Odysseus's crew consumed the intoxicating lotus plant, which caused them to lose all desire to return home and forget their purpose. This distraction could have led to their doom, as they risked remaining on the island indefinitely, abandoning their journey. Odysseus had to intervene and drag them back to the ship to escape the allure of the lotus.
