Odysseus's men are unable to keep their promise not to eat the cattle of the Sun God, Helios, due to their overwhelming hunger and desperation. After being stranded on the island of Thrinacia for an extended period without sufficient food, they succumb to temptation despite Odysseus's warnings. Their lack of self-control ultimately leads to dire consequences, as Helios punishes them by destroying their ship and drowning them for their disobedience. This incident highlights themes of temptation, loyalty, and the dire consequences of succumbing to base desires.

After sacking Ismarus, Odysseus tells the men to return to the ship with their booty, but they do not comply.

After visiting Aeolus, keeper of the winds, his men, thinking there is treasure in the sack Aeolus gave to Odysseus, open it, unloosing the winds. After rowing hard passing Scylla and Charybdis, Odysseus orders his men to row on, but they refuse, forcing the ship to port at Thrinacia. When they had arrived on the island of Thrinacia, home of Lord Helios' immortal cattle, Odysseus made them promise to not do anything to the herd. At first they were able to keep that promise, but soon, because there was no wind, they were stranded on the island with no food and only the cattle to stare at.
