Aeolia

On Aeolia Odysseus and his crew meet with the king of Aeolia who gave him a bag of winds to speed him on his way home. Odysseus on opened the bag of winds when he needed to, as because he was such a good sailor he stood guard by the bag of winds for 9 days with out any sleep. But, his crew became very curious about what as in the bag. They thought that there must have been gold in the bag that he was keeping from them. So on the 10th day, when he had finally fallen asleep and Ithaca was in sight, some of the men opened the bag of winds and in winds blew them back to Aeolia. When they asked the King again the threw them out of his island because he thought that they where cursed by the gods and he did not want to have any place in the curse.
