He gives Odysseus a bag of bad winds, and tells him not to open it. It wasn't successful because his men became curious and opened it. (Letting all the terrible winds and storms come.)

King Aeolus gives Odysseus a bag of winds to help him return to Ithaca. However, Odysseus' crew opens the bag, thinking it contains treasure, and the winds escape, blowing the ships off course and causing a storm that drives them back to Aeolus' island. This betrayal leads Aeolus to believe that Odysseus is cursed and refuses to help him further.
