read the excerpt from the odyssey.

then i sent out two picked men and a runner
to learn what race of men that land sustained.
they fell in, soon enough, with lotus-eaters,
who showed no will to do us harm, only

never cared to report, nor to return:
they longed to stay forever, browsing on
that native bloom, forgetful of their homeland.
