They could say that he wanted them to live their lives to the fullest without knowing the dangers that awaited them. They may argue that Odysseus does not reveal the full length of Circe's prophecy to them because he wants the last moments of their lives to be joyful and carefree. While this may be true, Ulysses demonstrates how misleading it can be time and time again. Soon after being trapped on Polyphemus' island, Odysseus is reunited with Aeolus, the god of wind. Aeolus kindly gives Odysseus a bag of winds to help him and his crew get home. Homer writes, “During the voyage, the suspicious and curious sailors open the bag (thinking it contains treasure), and the evil winds roar into hurricanes to torment the unfortunate Odysseus again” (Homer 10.1007-1008). When Homer writes “suspicious and curious,” he is trying to convey that once again Odysseus does not alert his crewmates. Odysseus is vague and deceptive about what is in the sack, implying that there is hidden treasure that he does not want to share. Furthermore, if Odysseus had warned his men and been sincere, it would not have taken them another three years just to get home. He could also have avoided losing many of his men to Circe, who turned them into pigs, and to Scylla and Charybdis, who struck down the few men still alive. His dishonesty makes him less of a hero and causes a lot of damage
