Our ship ride after the Cicones was quiet , and menacing. Zeus had sent many more storms for my men and I to encounter. This set of storms had pushed me even further away from home. "Nine days I drifted on the teeming sea before dangerous high winds" hit us.
"We came to the coastline of the Lotus Eaters , who live upon that flower." I sent two men to go and see what type of people inhabited this land. My men ran into Lotus Eaters , who seemed to want nothing bad to come of us. Some of my men had eaten the mysterious flower that was offered to them. I ended up having to drag those men back onto the ship ; they were not aware that the flower would make you feel as if you wanted to stay with the Lotus Eaters. In the end I had to tie the men down to the ship so they would not move. Our journey continued on ...
