The Lotos-Eaters are mythical creatures that come from a story in Greek mythology. They were a group of people who lived on an island and ate a special flower called the Lotos, which made them feel really relaxed and happy.
The story goes that some sailors got stranded on the island of the Lotos-Eaters and they ate the flower too. Once they started eating it, they didn't want to leave the island ever again, because they were so happy and relaxed.
Basically, the Lotos-Eaters were kind of like hippies who just wanted to chill out and be happy all the time. But, it's important to remember that the Lotos flower was only a temporary happiness and they couldn't stay on the island forever.
It's an interesting story about the dangers of getting too comfortable and never wanting to leave your comfort zone.
