Part 3 - Blockaeolus:
After their misadventure in Bearphemos’ cave, Hodlysseus and his crew visited Blockaeolus and his family in their palace. The latter gave them hospitality for a month and provided them a west wind to carry them home to Bithica. He also provided a gift of an ox-hide bag containing all winds but the west. Hodlysseus and his crew members traveled steadily and anxiously for several days, but with Bithica in sight, Hodlysseus sank overpowered by sleep. His men proceeded to indulge their curiosity to see the costly presents which they thought the bag contained, opened it unwittingly, and out burst the imprisoned block size wars with such a roar that the force drove the ship back to Blockaeolus' island.
