It depends on how you look at it. Even before leaving for the Trojan war, he was told he would be lost on the journey home. But during the course of events trying to get home he does piss off Posiedon by blinding his son (a cyclops).
So was it fate, the gods, bad luck? I’m not sure it matters too much, but reading the story and seeing his actions, hubris (which plays a big role in a lot of Greek stories) plays a big part.

Honestly the examples seem kinda terrible to me. There are a lot of examples that are common for men competing and a lot of the suggestions seem to indicate avoiding shots that include women’s lower half at all (preferring the camera zoom in on their upper half).
The worst offenders are the pole vaulting one, that’s a classic shot in the sport. Additionally they say not to take shots of women in the starting position of a race.
While I understand there is a concern about sexualization, I think the fact that they gendered this guidance points to the larger problem. Taking a photo of someone’s ass, regardless of gender, isn’t valuable to the sport or athlete, but action shots of an athlete competing should pretty much always be fair game.
