On their journey home, Odysseus and his crew stop at the island of Aeolus, god of the winds. Aeolus gave Odysseus a bag full of all the unfavorable winds, with the exception of a good west wind. With the west wind behind them, they were approaching Ithaca quickly. Not knowing that Ithaca was in sight, Odysseus fell asleep. Suspicion and distrust got the better of his men, and while Odysseus was sleeping they opened the bag he received from Aeolus. His crew, thought the bag as full of treasures that were not being shared. Once the bag was opened, the winds rushed out sending them back to Aeolus. As a result of feeling distrust and suspicion of their leader, the crew is frustrated that they were set back in their journey.
