Well, honey, Odysseus' men died in a variety of ways during their journey back from Troy. Some were eaten by a Cyclops, others were turned into pigs by a witch, and a few got a little too curious and opened a bag of wind that blew them off course. It was basically a Greek tragedy buffet of bad luck and poor decisions.
