Zeus has given Aeolus the power to control and unleash the winds. Aeolus is tasked with keeping the winds in check and controlling their direction and intensity to prevent chaos and destruction on Earth.
Aeolus refuses to help Odysseus a second time, believing that the gods must be against him if he encountered such misfortune after being given a fair wind the first time. He then advises Odysseus to leave immediately.
In Greek mythology, Aeolus was appointed by the gods to be the guardian of the winds. He keeps the winds locked in a cave and can release them as he pleases. Aeolus helped Odysseus by giving him a bag containing all the winds except the favorable west wind to assist him on his journey.
The king of the winds is Aeolus. He lives on the island Aeolia.
He gave them some hospitality for a month and then provided a west wind to carry them home. The problem was that he gave him a bag of the 4 winds. His crew thought it was treasure and opened it. That blew them back. Aeolus was the keeper of the winds and he bottled up a bag of winds for Odysseus so he could reach Ithaca, his home, faster. Ulysses asked Aeolus to get him and his men home quickly and safely.
