    One mistake is that the men start looting the fallen city, and get greedy. This leads to them not listening to Odysseus to get back to their ships. Instead, they feast and celebrate on th beach. As a result, 72 men are killed when a neighboring army comes to drive them out.

    The men was greedy for treasure so they started plundering the fallen country for gold, so greed took the control over them and started directing them. They didn't listen to Odysseus commands and continuing looting, so as a result, a neighboring city came and invade them and killed a lot of them
