One last one stumping me after a valiant effort (as so often happens: who can explan that?). 28a One accepted encompassing Parthenon's central section (6). ATHENA parses (AA around THEN) but if correct, where is the definition?

Is it perhaps just that the statue of Athena is in the cella? Is it that 'simple'?

Is it a thematic puzzle where some clues lack a definition?

Question Author

Thanks but no, there's no theme.

I struggled with this one & like Bill, I ended up settling for -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athena_Parthenos

I'd be quite happy if someone can give a better explanation.

Glad to hear I'm not alone!

Possibly a reference to the contest between Poseidon and Athena to be the patron of Athens, which Athena won (was thus accepted)?

The statue of Athena was in the central section of the Parthenon
