The topic: Describe Odysseus' encounter with Aeolus and the situation leading up to the accident involving Aeolus's bag of wind. Who is to blame for the accident -Odysseus or his men? Explain.
Odysseus' encounter with Aeolus was very unusal for us ,but very common to Odysseus and his men. Aeolus is known to be the god of the west winds. Being that he is the god of the west winds, he gathered up all of the wind and put it in a canvas for Odysseus to make his travel home easier. Aeolus intructed Odysseus to keep the winds inside of the canvas, until he reached his destinantion. Odysseus and his men stopped to take a nap. While napping, Odysseus men got curious about the canvas and opened it. All of the wind began to pore out, and Odysseus and his men were blown all the way back passed Circe island. I believe Odysseus and his men are to blame for this accident. I blame Odysseus , because he should've warned his men not to open up the canvas, and I blame Odysseus men because it wasn't their canvas to open.
