He forced his men that ate the fruit to get on board and set sail immediately.
lash his men to the benches of the ship
He made his men board the ship immediately.
Odysseus lost no men on the island of the lotus eaters. He was able to retrieve the 3 men that had succumbed to the lotus' temptation.
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.
The Island of the Lotus Eaters. At least, I think so.
Before Odysseus and his crew reached the island of the Lotus-Eaters, they had just escaped from the Cyclops Polyphemus, whom Odysseus had blinded in order to escape captivity. After leaving the island of the Cyclopes, they sailed to the land of the Aeolus, the god of winds, who gifted Odysseus a bag containing all the winds except the west wind. Unfortunately, his crew opened the bag out of curiosity, releasing the winds and blowing them off course, leading them to the island of the Lotus-Eaters.
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 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.
the lotus- eaters is what he visited first

No. The Lotus eaters only ate lotus plants and were peaceful.
Odysseus ties his men to the benches and tells them to row.
