Ah, this was something a bit different and I loved it! Used to be my favourite too until another one hinted at here took its place. Being Sisyphus I still remember the men of stones! Anyway, beautifully crafted and resonant as Old Tom. Faves included 4a, 10a, 21a, 31a, 6d, 8d, 11d, 8d, 27d. Thank you Guava!
Rather late - it's been a full week - but got to this in the end. I suspected it would be something along the lines that it turned out to be. You are ever the classicist. Not one I am familiar with but that did not stop the puzzle being fun. 9a, 12a, 21a, 29a, 6d, 18d, 25d and 27d my faves. Thanks. PM
