Odysseus vs Lotus Eaters
Storyboard Text
- Scope out the land!
- take this, eat it
- This tastes great! Can we stay here forever?
- Odysseus was at sea for ten days and upon the tenth "came to the coastline of the Lotus Eaters, who live upon that flower "(Homer 9. 34-36). Odysseus sends 3 men, to search the land
- My men! What have you done!
- They only ate the flower
- Odysseus' men approach a man "who was offering the sweet Lotus to [them]" (Homer 9. 43). The man intended no harm but to just give the Lotus as a gift.
- You must go back! Have you forgot about returning home?!
- Odysseus' men ate the Lotus and longed to stay forever (Homer 9. 46). The men didn't ever report back to their ship, so Odysseus went out to find them.
- Since Odysseus' men never cared to report, nor to return (Homer 9. 45), Odysseus, worried, asks what the Lotus Eater had done to them. The Lotus Eater says that he only gave them some Lotus.
- Odysseus drove them, all three wailing, to the ships (Homer 9. 47). Odysseus did this since the men refused to go to the ship.
- *Inside the boat* Odysseus tied them down under their rowing benches (Homer 9. 49). Odysseus did this so they don't escape. He tied them to the bottom because if at the top, they would be able to possibly escape.
