Best Answer

The Lotus Eaters are a people that Odysseus encounters in his journey. The Lotus Eaters lived on an island eating lotuses for food. Unfortunately, the lotuses are so delicious that any of Odysseus' crew that ate the lotuses no longer cared about getting home or what would happen to them. Odysseus forces his crew to leave the island immediately.

The story of the lotus eaters is that whenever someone eat the plant they would become forgetful of where they came and where they where going mainly they forgot everything.

I think this i am not sure but after they ate the flower they were eaten by monsters, or beautiful woman.

A Greek or Roman Myth stating that there was a lair of the lotus people and they would lure people in and give them these flowers to eat the flowers were sorta like drug abuse you will get addicted to it so once a person ate the flower he would never want to leave eventually the effects of the flower wore off though but it took a long while not within a year much longer.
