	Lotohagi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Lotophagi are the "lotus-eaters" in Homer's Odyssey.
		The Lotophagi eat lotus blossoms, which gives them the feeling of floating, and the desire to do nothing but sit and enjoy the feeling of lethargy.
		Odysseus forced his men to leave as soon as he realized where they were, for once you eat the lotus blossom you lose all desire to return home, and Odysseus did not want to forget his wife and kingdom home of Ithaca.

		The occasion of this practice arose from the opinion, that the souls of the departed were not admitted into the state of the happy, without the performance of the sepulchral solemnities.
		The foundation of it might perhaps be no more than this; The companions of Ulysses might be willing to settle among these Lotophagi, being won by the pleasure of the place, and tired with a life of danger and the perils of seas.
		Bochart shews us, that they derive their name from the place of their habitation; for the Phæacians call them Chek-lub, by contraction for Chek-lelub; that is, the gulph of Lilybæum, or the men who dwell about the Lilybæan gulph.
