The native lotus eaters happily gave some of the lotus to the three of Odysseus crew who were sent to explore the island. The natives are peaceful and do not attack Odysseus and his crew. They are eventually left behind on the island.

The three members of Odysseus men who eat the lotus fall under the lotus' power, forgetting themselves and their home, and have to be dragged back to the ship against their will.
