He held the winds of the world in a bag. One mistake unleashed hell.
Aeolus was no ordinary mortal. Appointed by Zeus himself as Master of the Winds, he lived on the floating island of Aeolia, where the four Anemoi - Boreas, Zephyrus, Notus, and Eurus - obeyed his every word.
Sailors prayed to him. Kings feared him. Odysseus begged him.
When Odysseus washed ashore, Aeolus gifted him the greatest favor ever given to a mortal: All the hostile winds tied in a bag, leaving only Zephyrus to blow him home to Ithaca.
Ithaca was in sight. Ten days of sailing. The crew, blinded by greed, thought the bag held gold.
They opened it.
In one breath, the world turned to storm. The ships were blasted back to the edge of the world, and Aeolus's mercy turned to cold fury.
