You have won the game!
Bugs:
You have to MOVE BOAT, even though it is referred to as a ship
everywhere else.
When the open gold door slams shut behind you, it is sometimes possible
to walk straight through it
once.
If you drop the clothes anywhere in the palace and return to the room
where you found them, they
mysteriously reappear there.
Notes:
1. In the palace, you can find a tiny gold key which allows you to
UNLOCK WEAPONS near the
stadium. But since these are lost, anyway, once you reach Ithaca,
there's no point in finding them
