Odysseus and his soldiers have almost made it home, with their final obstacle seeming to be a raging storm that they find themselves caught in. As Odysseus tries to guide his men through the storm, the soldiers spot a floating island in the sky. Odysseus, knowing it is the home of the wind god, Aeolus, has the crew throw harpoons at the island, so he can ask him to aid them on their journey through the storm.

Upon revealing this plan to Eurylochus, he argues that seeking help from a god is dangerous. He believes that Odysseus is going to get them all killed with his risky plans. Odysseus pulls Eurylochus aside and commands him to stop sowing seeds of doubt and comply with his plans or everyone will get killed.

Odysseus seeks the help of Aeolus who offers him a game, if Odysseus can keep a bag filled with wind spirits closed then he will find what he seeks. While this seemed an easy task, Aeolus' Winions plant rumors among Odysseus' men that the bag contained treasure, much to Odysseus' dismay. The soldiers, tempted by the possibility of riches, wait until Odysseus had fallen asleep to open the bag. The opened bag releases the storm spirits that blew the ships far across the sea, toward the land of the Laestrygonians. Odysseus, with the help of Eurylochus, is able to shut the bag before all the wind spirits escape. Unfortunately, they immediately find themselves face to face with the sea god himself, Poseidon.

Poseidon is furious with Odysseus; due to the latter blinding Polyphemus, who turned out to be Pseidon's son. He tells Odysseus that ruthlessness to your enemies is a kind of mercy upon itself and he should have killed Polyphemus when he had the chance, so that Poseidon would not know to be vengeful towards him. Poseidon then instructs him to apologize for what he did in order for him to be spared. Odysseus tries to explain his logic for hurting Polyphemus and stated that he and his men took no pleasure in injuring his son. Not accepting this response as an apology, Poseidon starts a tsunami and has the Laestrygonians throw boulders at Odysseus' ships, killing most of his crew. Odysseus, left with only 43 soldiers, decides to use the bag with the storm inside to escape the further wrath of Poseidon.
