Why doesn't Odysseus make it home in book 10 the odyssey?
In Book 10 of the Odyssey, Odysseus and his men encounter the Lotus Eaters, a group of people who offer the men lotus flowers that induce forgetfulness and a desire to stay. Some of Odysseus's crew partake in the lotus and lose their desire to return home, delaying their journey. This diversion prevents Odysseus from making progress toward his homeland.
When does Odyssus get the bag of winds?
Odysseus arrived on the island of Aeolia, ruled by the god Aeolus, Keeper of the Winds. Here, he was a guest for few days. Aeolus lived on the island with his wife, as well as his six sons and six daughters. Each of his son was married to one of his daughters. Upon leaving, the wind-god gave Odysseus a bag made of ox-hide, trapping all the strong winds within. Aeolus warned Odysseus not to open the bag. Odysseus sailed for nine straight days without sleep. The wind was fair and he sighted his island. Tired, Odysseus went below deck for short sleep. His men were greedy, and were curious to see what valuables was hidden in the bag, causing all the strong winds to escape. The sudden storm drove his ships off course, lasted several days. Odysseus was driven all the way back to Aeolia. Aeolus realised that he must be cursed by some gods. Aeolus refused to help Odysseus again. According to Parthenius, Odysseus had seduced one of Aeolus' daughters, named Polymela. When Aeolus found out he would have punished Odysseus, but the hero had already left the island, so Aeolus would have punished his daughter. Diores, however, intervened on his sister's behalf, and persuaded his father to let him marry Polymela.
