Aeolus banishes Odysseus and his men because, after helping them by providing a bag of winds to aid their journey home, they are blown off course due to their own folly. Odysseus's crew, curious and greedy, open the bag, releasing the winds and causing a storm that drives them far from their destination. Aeolus perceives this as a sign that the gods are against Odysseus, leading him to refuse further assistance and send them away. He believes that a man who has incurred divine wrath cannot be helped.
