Odysseus' Men are Undisciplined
Aeolus is the God of the winds who gave Odysseus a bag of all the winds that would throw him off course, giving him a straight route back to Eithica. As soon as Odysseus recieved the bag of winds he quickly got on his boat and started traveling home, ordering his men not to open the bag. The curiousity got the best of Odysseus' men and eventually opened the bag, blowing them all the way on Circes Island. In my opinion it is Odysseus' men fault. I beleive this because Odysseus is their king and protecter, what he says shouldnt be questioned or gone against. Odysseus is a brave, intellegent, and a strong warrior not only that he is their king. His men should have never doubted their king and went against his order. Odysseus knows what he is doing and he shouldnt have to explain anything to his men. I think Odysseus' men really crossed the line when they opened the bag. By doing this it shows Odysseus that they cant be trusted and is going to take them a lot longer to get home then it would have if they never opened the bag.
