Aeolus, the Greek god of winds, has a notable weakness in his susceptibility to human emotions and desires. In Homer's "Odyssey," he demonstrates this vulnerability by granting Odysseus favorable winds to aid his journey but later withdraws his support when Odysseus's crew opens the bag of winds, revealing a lack of trust. This incident highlights Aeolus's reliance on human behavior and the consequences of mismanagement of the powers he provides. Additionally, his isolation on the floating island of Aeolia suggests a certain detachment from the mortal world, limiting his influence over human affairs.
