Odysseus
Ithaca was Odysseus' home. Throughout the ten years he spent at sea, he and his crew spent great effort to return to their home. They got close one time after receiving a bag of wind from Aeolus, the god of the west wind. However, His crew grew suspicious of the bag, and perhaps with curiosity instilled in them from Poseidon, who was against Odysseus, opened the bag, creating a storm and keeping them from reaching their home.

Odysseus finally reached his home on a Phaeacian ship without any of his friends, just as Polyphemus had predicted.
