Answer:
Aeolus is refusing Odysseus's request for assistance.
Explanation:
The Odyssey is Homer's one of two epic poems, the other being Iliad.
In Book 10 named Circe, Odysseus and his crew during their adventurous journey had to stay with Aeolus (A king), who had power to control and command winds. He assisted Odysseus with a bag of wind containing all winds but west wind. Once when Odysseus was sleeping his men opened the bag considering it filled with some treasure. As a result a storm from the released winds hit upon their ship and took them back to Aeolus. Odysseus ask again for assistance, but Aeolus refused to help them because they had drawn the ire of the gods, saying;
<em>"It's a crime to host a man or speed him on his way
</em>
<em>when the blessed deathless gods despise him so."</em>
