What does Odysseus do that almost ruins his clever escape plan?
He didn't tell them what was inside the bag that Aeolus gave him. Odysseus was given a bag full of winds and was told to not open it right away. When he does open it however, the winds will take him straight to Ithaca. He didn't tell his men this. he only told them not to open it. Curiosity killed them and they just had to open it. When they opened it, the winds caused a windstorm and made them go in the wrong direction.
What gift did Aeolus give to Odysseus to speed him on his journey?
Aeolus, the keeper of the winds, gifted Odysseus a bag containing all the winds except for the gentle west wind, which would help him sail home to Ithaca.

However, Odysseus's crew, curious about the bag's contents, opened it out of greed, releasing the winds and causing a storm that ultimately set them back on their journey.
