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: 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 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: 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 Plot hole: How is it that Odysseus' men found only one footprint in the ground? Logically, they should have found a whole trail of footprints.

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 Oysseus says "It is I who am lost" his hand is on Elpenor's head.

Mistake Continuity: When Odysseus finds the little boy standing next to the ladder during the Trojan war, the angle of the sticks leaning against the ladder differ in the closeups.

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 Odysseus surfaces from the water and grabs the mast, the shape of the mast and the ropes around it have changed from the previous shot.

Mistake Revealing: During the battle at Troy, when Odysseus and Achilles are standing together surrounded by Trojan warriors, Odysseus lashes out with his sword and kills a warrior (just before Hector appears and challenges Achilles). If you look carefully you'll see that Odysseus merely swung his sword for show; it didn't connect with the Trojan warrior who fell dead.

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

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

Mistake Continuity: When Odysseus sees Aeolus' face in the waterfall, in the shots from behind, Odysseus' left sleeve is rolled up and his right sleeve is rolled down. Yet when viewed from the front, Odysseus' right sleeve is rolled up and his left sleeve is rolled down.

Mistake Continuity: When Odysseus raises the sail of the raft, it is obviously near sunset, but for the rest of this scene, it is much sunnier than it previously was.
