Can anyone explain:
a line in merchant of venice naming Greek God
?P?L?O
which I presume is Apollo

activity in school can grow,initially,without a head
?E?C?I?G
which I presume is teaching

Apart from that I thought this week's was a good crossword - clever but not too difficult

[writesbad]

Marco Polo was a merchant of Venice. therefore: A POL(L)O

[dwil]

Thanks. That's a bit too obscure.

TIN (can) + G(row) around EACH (a head)

[sedge47]

teaching is TIN (can) and G(row) outside EACH (a head, i.e. per head)

[dwil]

Thanks. I repeat what I said about the other one.

Sorry, Dwil, I only answered it, didn't set it! A, then (L)ine in POLO seems reasonable, but not necessarily easy, to me. All the best

[dwil]

I wasn't referring to your answer but the setter.
