Odysseus and his crew arrive on an island. Odysseus sends a few men to the island's shore to see what kind of men are residing there. The men are very strange indeed. They won't harm you, but only drag you in by the delicious lotus and you want to stay with them and eat lotus forever! The men Odysseus had sent get drawn in by the strange folk residing there. The men get offered some lotus plants to eat. 'They are good!' say the lotus eaters. The men Odysseus has sent chow down on the flowers, unknowingly forgetting about their mission, homes and lives. In fact they forget just about everything except for the next bite of lotus! Odysseus spots them and precedes to drag the men on to the ship and ties them tightly down. Odysseus and men leave the lotus eaters and continue on to there next destination.
The journey home must go on!
