Having read a previous post on the apparent lack of difficulty on the aforesaid puzzle, decided to have my first shot at it!
I completed all of the puzzle in around 2 hours except for the following:-
9d Head of tribe among offspring has obligations (6) _a_io_ Nearest I can get is DATION but not happy!
24a Little superstar somewhat fat initially for leading character (6) pe_e__ No idea!
Can someone please give me some pointers to these answers. Thanks M.

9d is a horse belonging to "our hero" and 24a is his father. ( In fact Poseidon gave 9d to 24a and "our hero" got it from him. )
