Thanks to everybody for taking part.

The inspiration for the word to clue comes from the tag “poet and tragedian”. i.e. William McGonagall. I was thinking of making of a poetry reading for the prize but not surprisingly the offerings on You Tube have very few takers.

Just for fun my own entry was “Oldham player?”

My short list included

Bernie – post 4
Ixion – post 8
Chrise – post 17

But for a nice reading and a reference to the ancient Greek the winner is Aristo with post 16

“Ancient engaged turbulently in art of Aeschylus (9) “

Your prize is a comedian who is local (to me )

Lovely clue aristo, cheers jws.

@rambler Please put me out my misery and parse your clue. My best effort came up with a wordplay that worked but no definition so I'm obviously missing something! Thanks, very much in anticipation.
