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 ;)
Odysseus is curious as to the type of person the cyclops is, so he decides to wait with his men inside the cave. He also would like gifts from the cyclops as per the custom of giving gifts to visitors at that time.
