Well, if ‘port ‘ and ‘starboard’ were used in the film ‘The Odyssey’, then they’re anachronistic.
Those terms, especially ‘port’ were not in use until the 15th / 16th centuries’.
The ancient Greeks would have used the terms dežia (dexia): Meaning “right” or the right side (corresponding to starboard, or the side where the steering oar was), and aristera meaning “left” or the left side (corresponding to port).
