• The Lotus-Eaters

Morpheus made dreams for the other people. He enjoyed watching other people’s dreams, and so he asked Persephone to make a flower to make people fall asleep. The flower had a honey like smell and as soon as you eat it, you would fall asleep. One day, Ulysses and his men came by while sailing to take a rest, and all of the soldiers and Ulysses ate the flower (lotus) and soon, they fell asleep. Ulysses ate it again and again, because he was starving with hunger. After eating, all he got out of the lotus was terrible nightmares about his journeys. When he got up after his nightmare, he tried very hard not to eat the lotus and carried all of his men up to the ship. While one by one of each en were waking up while sailing, Ulysses was not smiling, but griming, because he knew that his nightmares was telling him the truth of what is going to happen in the future of his journey.
