Presuming you are talking about the gift the god of the winds gave Odysseus then they didn't exactly misuse it. The winds that would drive them away from their destination were tied up in a bag. So Odysseus told no one to open it. However he didn't tell his crew why so they grew curious thinking there may be gold or jewels in it so they opened it and setting the winds free got lost all over again.
