He is cursed because he blinds Polyphemus, the cyclops, and Polyphemus just happens to be Posiedons son. Posiedon gets really mad at him and vows that he will return home a broken crew-less man, if he returns at all. So he causes a lot of trouble for Odysseus because in order to get home he must travel on the sea, which also happens to be Posiedon's realm.
