Mythical people who existed in blissful forgetfulness (5-6)

I believe the answer is:

lotus-eaters

(Other definitions for lotus-eaters that I've seen before include "They are lazy and indulgent" , "Forgetful people encountered by Odysseus in North Africa" , "Sybarites" , "People given to indulgence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
