Odysseus brings the curse upon himself primarily through his hubris and defiance of the gods. After blinding the Cyclops Polyphemus, he reveals his identity in a moment of pride, provoking Poseidon's wrath. This act sets off a series of misfortunes during his journey home, illustrating how his arrogance and failure to show humility lead to prolonged suffering for himself and his crew. Ultimately, his lack of respect for divine powers results in a curse that extends his journey and delays his return to Ithaca.
