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

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 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: When Odysseus looks back at his men before entering the underworld, the men are shown in different places on the ships between shots.

Mistake Continuity: A very blatant mistake in the Scylla scene. In one shot it is totally dark, with no light coming from the ship. In the next shot, Odysseus orders Anticlus to light a torch- and suddenly there is a ball of fire from which the soldier lights the torch.

Mistake Continuity: When Odysseus holds up the bowl of wine and says "It's the drink of the gods", the bowl is grey. When he gives it to the cyclops it is brown. When the cyclops throws it back at him, it is grey again.

Mistake Continuity: When Circe tells her maids to make wine with honey, she turns around to look at them twice.

Mistake Continuity: There are two shots of Odysseus floating in the water right before he reaches Calypso's island. In the first shot, you can see that he is wearing armor. In the second, his chest is bare.

Mistake Continuity: The blood on the cyclops' chin disappears quite suddenly, though he never wipes it off.

Mistake Continuity: When Hermes says "Heed my advice and reach that stone" Odysseus is looking at Hermes. In the next shot, as Odysseus replies "Which?" he is facing up the cliff.

Mistake Continuity: During the storm at sea, Odysseus grabs onto the mast of the raft, and between shots his hands come closer together.

Mistake Revealing: After the sack of winds is opened, Eurylochus is shown grabbing onto a rope in midair, and the string holding him up is visible.

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 Audio problem: When Tiresias describes Scylla to Odysseus he states, "She lurks in the shadows, hoping to fill her belly." However, when he says, "hoping to fill her belly," his lips don't match what he is saying.

Mistake Continuity: When Odysseus is hugging Calypso, the ship magically appears on the horizon.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the Trojans run out of the gates as their city burns you can see a boom mike bobbing up and down at the top of the screen.
