Someone finding his treasure.
Curiousity and hope of gifts or treasure.
Odysseus disguised as the beggar tells Penelope that Odysseus was with the Thesprotians gathering treasure, but that he has gone to Dodona to determine's Zeus' high mind. Odysseus says that Odysseus has lost all his crew on the Thrinacian island, but has himself survived and will be coming back to Ithaca soon.
Odysseus comes back home charged with the treasures that King Alcinous of the Phaeacians gave him after he told him the wondrous tale of his trip and all the adventures he lived by the sea.
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.
Odysseus' crew did. They believed Odysseus was hiding treasure from the rest of the crew.

Because they though there was a treasure inside the bag.

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.
Odysseus' men thought that inside in the bag contained some sort of treasure (gold, silver, riches, something from the gods) that Odysseus was trying to keep hidden away, so that he could have it all to himself.
There are a couple other answers but i dont know them so sorry. I wish i could help! :(

They get greedy, not trusting in Odysseus, and open the bag of winds when they were almost at Ithaca, thinking the bag contained treasure. The unleashed winds blow them far back away from their home
