Odyssey Notes, Ismaros & Land of the Lotus Eaters

Ismaros, Land of the Ciconians (Cicones)

  • O and his men want to celebrate winning the Trojan War
  • O fights the Cicones
  • 2 things: they kill the men and take the women
  • O wants to leave but men are selfish / mutinous
  • Cicones prisoners escaped and got the army
  • The army forces O and his men to leave
  • 6 Greek (Achaean) men died from every ship
  • (O started out with 12 ships)
  • Couldn’t leave until someone cried 3 times for each dead soldier

Land of the Lotus Eaters

  • O chooses 2 men and a runner to find out about the lotus eaters (a total of 3 men
  • lotus eaters were not violent
  • L E gave the men lotus to eat
  • Lotus makes them carefree, forgetful of their home
  • O tells the men they need to leave; they’re mad/upset
  • Kept O and his men from main goal: getting home
