==Novels==
===The Lightning Thief===
During their quest to return the Master Bolt to Zeus, The Lotus Eaters give Percy, Annabeth, and Grover magically unlimited credit cards to force their stay at the Lotus Hotel and Casino. Despite the Lotus Plants not being seen, Percy realizes they are pumping the lotus into the air because Percy noted how the hotel smelled like lotus. Despite the enticing games meant to hypnotize their guests, Percy snaps out of it when he comes across people who claim it is the 1960s but he's only been there for a couple of weeks. He finds Annabeth and snaps her out of it by mentioning her fear of spiders, which is more powerful than the Lotus Eaters' influence. Despite enticing them with platinum cards, the kids become the Lotus Eaters' and quickly leave. 
==In the myth==
The plants are narcotic and addictive, causing people to sleep in peaceful apathy. Those that ate the lotus plant lost all their will and memory.
They are famous for their part in the Odyssey, where two of Odysseus' men had to be dragged back to the ship by him because of the plants' effects. Aeneas also passed through their region a few times on his journey's. 
==In the film adaptation==
 
In the films, the Lotus Eaters give their hotel guests lotus flowers to keep them there rather than have it pumped into the air.
