Lotus Eaters in The Odyssey
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2009 18:40:09
So I've been reading The Odyssey.... mostly because I wanted to see the similarities to O Brother Where art Thou.
It's been a good book. And I've found the Lotus Eaters to be very interesting. Do you think they knew of drugs back then? Because drug addictions summarize the Lotus Eaters almost perfectly. I guess seductions and self-destructive activities have always been around, but it is interesting to me.
