What misfortune did Odysseus bring on himself and his men?

Odysseus entered the city of Troy by using a Trojan Horse, a giant replica of a horse, and destroyed Troy from the inside. He wouldn't have been able to if Poseidon didn't send a sea serpent to kill the snitch, who was about to give away Odysseus' position. After Odysseus defeated the city of Troy, he gloated about how he solemnly defeated the town with no help of the Gods. This made Poseidon furious, so he cursed Odysseus and his men so they would go through Hell if they ever sailed again. Eventually all of his men (excluding Odysseus) were either killed by the Cyclops, turned into pigs by the witch, or fell into the endless pit created by Poseidon.
