Homework: Dear parents/ guardians, please assist your

Option 3: Collections: the lotus eaters
I might have
made it safely home, that time,
but … the current
took me out to sea…
Nine days I drifted on the teeming sea
….we came to the coastline of the Lotus Eaters,
who live upon that flower. We landed there
to take on water. …
Then I sent out two… 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
offering the sweet Lotus to our friends
but those who ate this honeyed plant, the Lotus,
never cared …to return:
they longed to stay forever…. forgetful of their
homeland.
I drove them, all …, to the ships,
tied them down under their rowing benches,
….and we moved out again on our sea faring.
1. What
do you think the sweet Lotus is? How do you know this?
