　　    离开特洛伊城的第10天,奥德修斯和他的随素来到了一个岛上。岛上的居民只好以忘忧树的果实和花为食品。这种神奇的动物,魔力极大,谁只有吃了它,就会忘记往事,而陷入模模糊糊的昏睡状态。当奥德修斯的随从到达时,岛上居民友好地邀请他们吃这种甜美的食物。花果的魔力即时在他们身上起作用,使他们陷入了深沉的昏睡状况。他们失去了对未来的渴望。海和船在他们看来无聊而可恶。他们也不再急于见到妻儿跟王国。奥德修斯见不到随从返回的迹象,就顿生猜忌。他跟一些全副武装的跟从出发了。他们要去查出事情的原形。不久,他就发现了那种食物神奇的魔力。他不许侍从碰这种动物,并发出命令:把那些勤倦的错误拖回船上;并把他们捆在凳子上。直到他们睡够了,才解除了忘忧树有害的魔力。他们毫不犹豫地扬帆动身,分开因吃忘忧树上花果而昏睡的岛上居民向前驶去。
