Why did Odysseus go to the island of the lotus eaters?

He and his men were suffering from thirst. They were on the sea, so of course, after so many men fought in the city of Ismaros, they were very thirsty and dehydrated. The Island of the Lotus Eaters was really the first "safe" area they came too. Odysseus sent his men to find the natives, and when they did, the natives gave them the lotus plant. This of course, made them lose hope of home. The three men didn't even go back to Odysseus, so he had to go find them. He took his men and tied him down to the benches on the ship, and then they departed from the island. Nuff said.

Odysseus sailed his ship past the reefs where sirens sing, irresistibly drawing sailors to wreck their ships on the rocks. He had his men put wax into their ears to block the songs.

Odysseus must do what to escape the island of the lotus-eaters with his crew?

There are only really a few of Odysseus' men who are under the hold of the lotus flower. When they refuse to leave Odysseus has them tied up and forced onto the ship. As the ship sails away from the land of the lotus-eaters the men gradually recover and get their will-power back. Hope this helps ;)
