Odysseus and his men encounter the land of the lotus eaters in Book Nine. Now, after being carried in the sea for nine whole days they land on Lotophagi on the the tenth day. Of course after all that time on sea, Odysseus and his men would grow hungry. So, before further continuation of their journey they ate. Soon after, Odysseus sent out three men to explore the island. Inevitably, they encounter the “Lotus-eaters,” who were the people of Lotophagi. They were rather kind and never wanted to cause harm. Now, again, the lotus-eaters ment harm to no man, so they offered Odysseus’s men a lotus. Although, the men of Odysseus had no knowledge that whomever ate the honey flavored fruit would no longer long to return home, or would no longer care for things that were once sacred to them. No, instead when one devoured the taste of a Lotus, they’d only crave for the taste of even more Lotus. Thus, after Odysseus men ate the Lotus, they forgot of their important mission; To return to Ithaca. Odysseus then has to force his onto their ship, so they can return home.


This short summary of what happened on the land the is called Lotophagi, proves that the correct answer to this question is b ) Some of Odysseus's men taste the lotus fruit and refuse to leave the island. Odysseus takes them back to the ship by force.

What does the poet mean by somewhere ages and sges hence in the poem road not taken
Kitty [74]

Answer:

In the poem "The Road Not Taken," the author Robert Frost Makes reference to a diverged road, in which the speaker must make a decision about which road to pick. Thus, in the last stanza, by the words "somewhere ages and ages hence," he means that sometime in the future he will give a sigh of relief or regret about having taken his own path in life.

 Consider another example, 4x + 8 = 40. In this example, we are looking for a number when multiplied by 4 and added 8 to it will give 40. We can try to figure out this number through guessing and checking. Eventually we will find that 8 is the replacement for x. However, with a systematic procedure of solving equations, we can easily solve that problem without going through the throes of guessing and Math Skills for Business- Full Chapters 2 checking. Before we start learning that procedure for solving equations, let us try to understand the meanings of like terms and unlike terms.
