Mistake Continuity: When the men enter the cyclops' cave, Odysseus crouches down and says "They keep sheep in this cave with them". Between shots his arm goes from being at a 90 degree angle to being at a 45 degree angle.

Mistake Continuity: When Elpenor says "We will not reach Ithaca without you" Odysseus replies "Yes you will" and hugs him. In that shot Odysseus' right hand is on Elpenor's back, but in the next as Odysseus says "It is I who am lost" his hand is on Elpenor's head.

Mistake Continuity: After Circe tells Odysseus that he must go to the underworld, Odysseus sits down on the bed and puts his hand on his lap. In the next shot, as Circe says "You are right to be afraid", Odysseus' hand is on the bed.

Mistake Continuity: When Telemachus is born and Penelope and Odysseus hold him, Penelope's hand goes from touching the baby's arm to touching his head.

Mistake Continuity: During the start of the battle in Odysseus's throne room at the end of the film, watch as the evil suitor hurls an axe at Odysseus and Telemachus, shouting "A river of blood!" Both duck as the axe flies towards them. Then in the very next shot, they duck a second time as the axe smashes into the wooden throne behind.

Mistake Continuity: After the suitors throw Penelope's tapestry into the fire the position of the tapestry changes between shots.

Mistake Continuity: When Odysseus is about to arrive at Circe's palace, he puts his hand next to one of the cracks on the ground. Between shots his hand moves further away from this crack.

Mistake Continuity: When the men are about to leave Ithaca, Odysseus raises his hands and cries "Set the sails". Between shots the blanket over his shoulder moves closer to his neck.

Mistake Revealing: When the monkey points up the hill and Odysseus keeps climbing, modern houses and roads are visible on the ground below.
