Odysseus stops in the land of the lotus-eaters during his journey home as a result of being blown off course by a storm. The inhabitants, who consume the intoxicating lotus flower, offer Odysseus and his crew this plant, which causes them to forget their purpose and long for nothing but the lotus. This encounter highlights the dangers of temptation and distraction, as some of his men become so entranced that they lose their desire to return home. Ultimately, Odysseus must intervene to save them and continue their journey.
