Mistake Continuity: When the cyclops is looking at the men's equipment, he sticks a sword into the ground. The angle of the sword changes between shots.

Mistake Continuity: After Anticlea commits suicide, the grievous Euryclea turns her head toward the left. In the next shot, her head is turned toward the right.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Anticlea tries to commit suicide, the sand on the beach is white. However, in a wide shot as Penelope yells "No." the sand now appears to be light brown. This shot was obviously filmed at a different time than the rest of the scene, after the tide had gone in and out.

Mistake Continuity: In the shot of Hermes flying up to get the plant, Odysseus' sword is over his elbow, but in the next overhead shot his sword is halfway between his elbow and his shoulder.

Mistake Continuity: As the sailors cut open the sack of winds, between shots the knife they use moves further up the sack.

Mistake Continuity: After Penelope says "I am alone now", her head rotates between shots.

Mistake Continuity: When Penelope gives birth to Telemachus, there is a little girl watching with both her hands on her cheeks. Then we see a closeup of her, and only one of her hands is on her cheek. The other is near her chest.

Mistake Continuity: Before he rapes Melanthe, the suitor Eurymachus spills some wine on his shirt, leaving two stains on it. But by the time he enters the room she is in, the spots have disappeared.

Mistake Continuity: At the end of the Charybdis scene Odysseus surfaces from the water and grabs onto the mast of the ship with one hand, but in the next shot he's grabbing it with both hands.

Mistake Continuity: When the men are leaving the Trojan horse, there is a spear leaning at the center of one of the wheels, but when Odysseus starts fighting, the spear is at the far side of the wheel.

Mistake Deliberate "mistake": When Penelope gives birth to Telemachus it is obviously not a newborn baby.

Mistake Continuity: When the men are about to stab the cyclops in the eye, Odysseus' hands are near the top of the stick. In the next shot they're further down the stick.

Mistake Revealing: It's stated that Achilles has been killed. He then is shown lying face up on his pyre. But if you look closely enough (zooming in might help) you can see that he's still breathing.

Mistake Continuity: Odysseus' hair constantly changes throughout the scene where he is talking to Athena on his ship.

Mistake Continuity: Aeolus changes position on his chair between shots of him saying "Everyone knows Odysseus, the great hero who built the Trojan horse".

Mistake Audio problem: At the very beginning of the film, when Odysseus is running to his wife at Ithaca, we hear him breathing rapidly. His breaths does not match his mouth.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Odysseus is climbing up the hill and sees the god Hermes, Hermes plucks a plant to feed Odysseus. Odysseus' head rotates to the left between shots.

Mistake Continuity: The blood on the face of the little boy at Troy changes constantly throughout the many shots of him.

Mistake Continuity: When Antinoos throws the bow to the ground after failing to string it, it lands tilting upwards. But by the time Odysseus picks it up, the bow is lying flat on the ground.

Mistake Revealing: Odysseus' men find the cyclops footprint in brown dirt, yet there are black outlines around it, showing us that it's just a footprint in plaster.
