THE LOTUS EATERS
Yes. but -alas- they don't return. They've met the natives,
who've given them lotus to eat. All who taste it forget everything and just
want to laze around eating more lotus. You have to drag them back to the
ships and tie them up, getting the rest to row away furiously. Soon you
reach a small uninhabited island populated only by goats. You kill goats
aplenty and feast all day, washing the meat down with wine you took from
the Cicones. As evening falls you can see fires on the mainland and hear
voices from across the strait.
