Odysseus and his men drift to the shore of the Lotus Eaters. Odysseus sends out three men to scout the island. He sends two hand picked men and a runner. They then discover it was the island of the lotus eaters. If one was to eat a lotus flower, then they would forget about their homeland. Odysseus had to retrieve his men and tie all three of them to the ship. Odysseus tells everyone to get on the ship and leave at once and to not try any of the lotus flowers
