Homer wrote in The Odyssey about a mysterious land believed to be part of ancient Libya:

> "We sent out some men to explore the land, and they encountered the Lotus-Eaters — a gentle people who meant no harm. They offered them the lotus to eat, and once they tasted it, they forgot their homeland and all desire to return. I had to drag them back to the ship by force, for they longed only to stay."



This land, thought to be along the coast of ancient Libya, was a place of beauty and dangerous forgetfulness — where even heroes could lose their way. 🌿🇱🇾
