Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey by Homer. 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. Which line from the excerpt supports the conclusion that Odysseus cares for his men?

What is Odyssey by Homer?

Odyssey by Homer is one of the two important ancient Greek epic poems that are credited to Homer in The Odyssey. It was written in the 8th century BCE. The Odyssey was originally translated into English in the sixteenth century.

Although it would have been much simpler to leave those who consumed the Lotus behind, Odysseus persisted in taking them back to the ship with him because he couldn't stand the idea of leaving his men behind when there is still a chance to save them.  This shows how much he loves his crew.

Therefore, the line "I drove them, all three wailings, to the ships" shows that odyssey cares for his men.
