The Wind King, Aeolus, helped Odysseus and his men by giving them a bag containing all the unfavorable winds, allowing them to sail home to Ithaca smoothly. However, he warned them not to open the bag. Unfortunately, Odysseus's crew, curious and thinking it contained treasure, opened it while he was sleeping, releasing the winds and blowing their ship far off course. This act ultimately thwarted their journey home.
