The Lotus Eaters came from the island that was called the land of the Lotus Eaters.
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.
Before drifting into the country of the lotus-eaters, Odysseus and his men encountered the land of the Cyclopes. They ventured into the cave of Polyphemus, a Cyclops who ended up trapping them inside and eating some of Odysseus' men. Odysseus then devised a plan to blind Polyphemus and escape, which ultimately led to further challenges on their journey back home to Ithaca.
"The Odyssey" by Homer references lotus flowers in the episode of Lotus Eaters, where Odysseus's crew encounters a land of lotus-eaters who feed them lotus flowers that cause them to forget their desire to return home and remain trapped on the island.
They forgot about their journey home and stayed with the Lotus eaters. The rest of the crew sailed home without them.
