Aeolus love to eat, drink, fight, play games,and hear stories. Aeolus was pleased with Ulysses because Ulysses had bloody stories to tell Aeolus. Aeolus gave Ulysses the bag of winds (north winds, south winds, east wind). Ulysses stayed awake for 9nights and 9 days protecting the bags of wind. Ulysses' men opened the bag of winds because they thought it was bags of jewel from the clanking of Poseidon's golden armlets. After Ulysses's men thought the sacks were loot, they ripped the sack and the winds came out mercifully and fought with each other, screaming and winning. I think Poseidon will suddenly appear and punish Ulysses's and him men.
