They get greedy, not trusting in Odysseus, and open the bag of winds when they were almost at Ithaca, thinking the bag contained treasure. The unleashed winds blow them far back away from their home
Circe turns the men back and tells Odysseus to port his ship properly, and to hide their gear in some cave.
the lotus was a plant that beared fruit which some of Odysseus's men ate Odysseus had to physically drag them back to the ship so acctually, he didnt kill the lotus, just helped his men get better after eating it.
Some myths say that after Odysseus left them they drowned themselves for letting a ship of men by them unmoved. This isn't likely, as the Argonauts fled them previously, and they were said to have murdered a son of Odysseus, Telemachos.
Because Odysseus and his men were told not to eat the cattle no matter the circumstances and when Odysseus stepped away, his mean cut up some of the cattle and ate them. Zues was ordered to destroy these men. So when Odysseus and his men left the Island a huge storm struck their ship and everyone died except for the great Odysseus himself.
No, they never were killed, some say that after Odysseus left them they drowned themselves for letting a ship of men by them unmoved. This isn't likely, as the Argonauts fled them previously, and they were said to have murdered a son of Odysseus, Telemachos.
He doesn't escape, he's let go. After Zeus says it's time to send Odysseus home, he describes what will happen on this last leg of the journey. Then, he send Hermes to tell Calypso it's time to send Odysseus away. She gives Odysseus some tools, they go into the forest and he builds himself a ship. She gives him some cloth, he makes sails.

The Lotus Eaters treated Odysseus and his men with hospitality, offering them the lotus plant to eat. However, the lotus had a narcotic effect that caused the men to forget their homes and desires to return to Ithaca. This led to some of Odysseus's crew becoming lethargic and unwilling to leave the island. Ultimately, Odysseus had to forcefully bring them back to their ship to continue their journey.
After Odysseus' crew kill and eat the golden cattle, they sacrifice some of them to the gods, to hopefully assuage them; however, this does them no good.Helios tells Zeus of the sacrilege. Eventually the sailors, with Odysseus, find favourable winds and leave the island, and Zeus promptly splits the ships with lightning bolts, sinking all their ships. Everyone dies except for Odysseus who washes up on Calypso's shores.In Odyssey 12, Odysseus and his men land on the island of Thrinacia, where the sun god kept a special herd of cattle. Odysseus warned his crew not to harm the sun god's cattle. Unfortunately, adverse weather conditions prevented Odysseus and his men from leaving the island. The longer they remained on the island, the more dissatisfied Odysseus' men became with the food that they had. Ultimately, the temptation to kill and eat some of Helios' cattle became too great and, while Odysseus slept, his men slaughtered and feasted on some of the cattle.This proved to be deadly mistake. When Helios found out about this, he complained to Zeus. After Odysseus and his men were finally able to leave Thrinacia, Zeus struck their ship with a terrible storm:"Zeus anchored a black cloud above our hollow ship, and the waves beneath were dark. She had not run on for long before there came a howling gale, a tempest out of the west, and the first squall snapped both our forestays, so that the mast toppled backwards and the rigging fell into the hold, while the tip of the mast hitting the stern struck the steersman's skull and crushed the bones."The ship was destroyed and all of Odysseus' remaining men died. Odysseus himself managed to float along on remnants of the ship. Eventually, he washed ashore on Calypso's island.
