[The Odyssey]

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.
