Not really a question, but I wonder how many think this is deeply flawed? Themed answers without further definition are well and good, but there has to be some discipline to the theme, not Let's make as many of them Greek myth as we can, but feel free to go to Norse or Asian myths when we get stuck.
And there are far too many four-letter lights, which are especially hard when they are obscure theme words with too few crossers (especially uncrossed first letters) to help you work them out.
Normally, what I love about these puzzles is that after a certain amount of work you get to a peak when something important slots into place and everything seems to open out from there. But I've passed that peak already, and after a temporary acceleration, the solution is now grinding to a halt, mainly because of those pesky four-letter words. Aaghh!
