When he saw that his men had eaten the lotus plant, Odysseus forces his mean to leave and continue the journey home.

Homer's epic "The Odyssey," tells the story of the hero Odysseus and his men on their journey back home to Ithaca. The story deals with themes of leadership, heroic acts, bravery, resilience, and loyalty, among others.

  • The scene about the Lotus-eaters is found in the first part of Book IX. 'here, Odysseus revealed that he had sent some men to survey the island.
  • But they did not return, evidently having eaten the lotus given to them by the Lotus-eaters who were the inhabitants of that land.
  • He was able to continue with the journey only after dragging the 'affected' men to the ship and locking them up.
  • This is one characteristic of a hero’s leadership because he did not leave the men behind.
  • Instead, he went there and got them away from the Lotus-eaters, and locking them up until they come back to their senses.

Odysseus is a hero as he led his men through the arduous journey to Ithaca. And when he dragged his 'infected men' away from the Lotus-eaters, he saved their lives. Thus, the correct answer is option A).
