He gives Odysseus a bag of bad winds, and tells him not to open it. It wasn't successful because his men became curious and opened it. (Letting all the terrible winds and storms come.)
King Aeolus gave Odysseus a bag of winds.
King Aeolus
As far as I know I don't think Aeolus is a king, though I may be wrong. He is definitely however a God. He the god of the winds. What he gives Odysseus in the bag is all the 'wrong' winds that are blowing the opposite way to Ithaca. By giving Odysseus the bag of winds, Aeolus is making it easier for Odysseus to get home quicker.

King Aeolus gifts Odysseus a bag containing the winds to help him on his journey home to Ithaca. This bag is meant to ensure favorable winds for Odysseus and his crew. However, his men, curious about the contents, open the bag, releasing the winds and causing them to be blown off course. This incident delays their return home significantly.
Aeolus wasn't necessarily a "god" per se. He was the king of winds. He gave Odysseus and crew a bag and told them not to open it. Curiosity struck, and when the crew were within sight of their homeland, they opened it (against Odysseus' orders) and blew the men back out to sea.
When Odysseus and his men saw Ithaca, Odysseus' men decided to open the sack of winds that Aeolus, the king of winds, gave them. This let out a storm that drove them back to Aeolia. Aeolus decided the gods hated Odysseus and his men and casted them out. Odysseus wanted for many years, hoping to return home. He did not give up. In Ithaca, Odysseus was determined to reclaim his "throne" or position in Ithaca and fought all the suitors who were living in his house.
Aegeus was not a God: but a mortal King, the father of Theseus.
