No one but Odysseus survives the journey back to Ithaca. All his men on his ship and all men on the other ships die during the voyage.
Eurylochus convinces the rest of the crew that slaughtering the cattle of Helios is preferable to continuing to starve. He argues that the gods will forgive them if they sacrifice some of the cattle to them. Zeus destroys their ship and leaves the men to drown; only Odysseus survives.
Odysseus is the only survivor of his crew due to a combination of his cunning and the disastrous decisions made by his men. After they encounter the Cyclops Polyphemus, Odysseus cleverly deceives him and escapes, but his crew's curiosity leads them to open the bag of winds given by Aeolus, resulting in their ship being blown off course. Later, they encounter the Sirens and Scylla and Charybdis, where many of his men perish. Ultimately, his crew disregards Odysseus's warnings about the cattle of Helios, leading to their demise, while he alone survives to return home.
