In Greek mythology, the lotus-eaters were a race of people living on an island dominated by the lotus tree. The lotus fruits and flowers were the primary food of the island and were a narcotic, causing inhabitants to sleep in peaceful apathy. After eating the lotus they would forget their home and loved ones and never cared to report, nor return.
