They open the bag of wind, because they have no idea whats in it. The shipmates think it contains gold, silver, food, etc. Once the bag is opened, instead of bringing them home like it was supposed to, the winds send the ship away from Ithaca.
Some of his men opened the bag of wind that the wind god gave them. which blew them the other way
Aeolus gives Odysseus and his men a bag of wind to help them sail safely back to Ithaca. He instructs them not to open it, but due to distrust and curiosity, they open it prematurely, causing a storm that blows them off course.
Odysseus and his men were blown away after his men opened the bag of wind that Ino gave him. They thought that it was gold and wanted to check how much money was in the bag, but it was wind so it blew them back all the way to Aiola again.
they were in sight of ithica when Odysseus fell asleep and his men opened the wind bag thinking it was treasure that odysseus was holding out on them. Because of this the wind creates a giant storm and blows them back to another island where they meet circe.
By temptation, the men also saw that Odysseus had a weakness.
hes the keeper of winds where Aeolus gives him a bag of wind. Odysseus men think hes hiding something from them so they open the bag and the winds rush out where it brings them back to Aeolus who refuses to help them again :)
They opened the bag of winds that some wind king gave them
It's not so much the actual gift that's unlucky as it is what Odysseus' men do to it. When Aiolus gives Odysseus the wind bag, he tell him to make sure that no one opens it all the way, or all the wind will escape. Odysseus' men, however think that there is gold and treasure in the bag, so they open it against Odysseus' commands, and they get sent back to where the came from.
becausee theyy believedd in containedd treasuree that Odysseus was tryinqq to keep hidden from them
The king of the winds (aeolous) gives Odysseus a bag of winds that has all of the winds except for one (the west wind?) that will bring him home and he does get home within sight of Ithaca but then his crewmates got suspicious of the bag opened it and were blown back away from Ithaca back toward the island of the winds
Same as bag men
