I have struggled with this one today - am I just making 'heavy weather' of it, with thunder in the air?
I still cannot make sense of 28a: 'Willing to embrace cold daughter og King of Athens'. I have 'Aracne', because it fits, but she was no princess.

Procne

No, I find it very difficult too compared with last week's cinch. The answer you want is
PROCNE (Prone around C for Cold)> You will find several answers to this week's Mephisto on the Answer Bank site

No wonder I was having trouble - I had stupidly put the wrong letter in 29d! Many thanks, all done now.
