What motivates odysseus’s men to ignore his orders to leave quickly?

{a} they are seasick and want to stay on the island to recover.{b}they want to eat, drink, and enjoy themselves before setting off on their journey. {c}they do not want to work for odysseus anymore

  I think that the correct option is B. They want to eat drink, and enjoy themselves before setting off on their journey.

  I believe that the part of the Odyssey you are referring to is when they visited the Lotus-eaters, a race of people living on an island dominated by lotus plants. These were the primary food and were narcotics causing the inhabitants to be in apathy.

  He sends some of his crew to check the people when they arrived at the island but when some of the men got there they gave them to eat the Lotus flowers. Those who ate it forgot about the travel and the desire to get back home and wanted nothing more than stayed there munching Lotus. Odysseus dragged his crew out of the island by force.

  I hope this answer helps you. Greetings.
