They fell in, soon enough, with lotus-eaters,
who showed no will to do us harm, only
offering the sweet lotus to our friends—
but those who ate this honeyed plant, the lotus,
never cared to report, nor to return:
they longed to stay forever, browsing on
that native bloom, forgetful of their homeland.
i drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,
tied them down under their rowing benches,
and called the rest: all hands aboard;
come, clear the beach and no one taste
the lotus, or you lose your hope of home.

Explanation:

Odysseus chooses to do battle with the Greeks despite the fact that he wouldn't like to leave his wife and child. Being a decent pioneer he will be, he sets aside his own wants and unselfishly offers himself to fighting for his nation.

During the war with Troy, he is splendid in fighting. He thinks of the possibility of the Trojan Horse. At the point when the Trojans open their doors and get the Trojan Horse, Odysseus and the Greeks get inside the city of Troy. Odysseus drives his men to triumph.  

During his trek home from the war, Odysseus drives his men through numerous obstructions. He is brave even with beasts and hazardous ladies, for example, Circe and Calypso. Odysseus never surrenders in attempting to protect his men. Despite the fact that he loses men, he is crushed by the way that he couldn't spare every one of his men.

the civil war was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the united states. more than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. the fighting took place in many different cities and throughout the countryside. the wounded often suffered acute pain while in the field hospitals. they all should have asked for better care. william hammond, the surgeon general of the union army, created a new system of sanitary field care. if people do not accept hammond as the most important person from the civil war, they have no understanding of the war.
