origin and meaning of a lotus eater
He wanted his men out of there, he cared for them so as a leader he had to get them out from the Lotus!
Lotus Eaters were the people who lured others to their land, and the land had such enchantements, that the people that were lured did not want to leave. They were served lotus juice, and just wanted more
In Homer's Odyssey the lotus tree fruit causes a pleasant drowsiness. The Lotus-eater or Lotophagi would only eat lotus and when they did they would forget about friends and family and desire to live in idleness.
After the Island of the Cicones, Odysseus landed on the Island of the Lotus Eaters. The Lotus is a plant that forces the eater to lose all grip on reality. Once it is eaten, the person knows nothing nor cares for anything other than eating the lotus plant. Odysseus sent in two men to scout out the area. When they did not come back, Odysseus sent in to find them. He found the two men hopelessly addicted to eating the lotus plant. Odysseus tied the two men up and forced them into the ship against their will and sails away.
The Lotus Eaters came from the island that was called the land of the Lotus Eaters.
