"4E original lotus eaters were

1t is the habit Of writer's,
= speakers. and even plain con-
versationalists, to refer to certain
undesirable classes of mankind as
'lotus eaters" meaning that they
are idle and frivolous. There ,were

trious and as hard working as peo-
pie who did not eat the lotus.
Among. the Egyptians the lotus,
which is an important member of
the water lily family, was an article
of food with the common people. and
it was SO extensively used that it
may properly be said to have been
a staple food.
Herodotus of F1alicarnassus, in his
record of travels and researches
through the world of his period.
wrote Of the Egyptians who dwelt
in the morasses as being especially
fond Of, the lotus. and they found
It to be of great value as food.
Herodotus wrote: when the Nile
is full and has made the plain like
a sea, great numbers of lilies. which

Herodotus, also wrote of another an

were very fond. . He calls this the
