I now have 12a - ABSCONDENCE

[professorplum13]

For 8d I now have E???E?G?R

[professorplum13]

Apologies - 8d now starts with "W" -(I hafd an alternative spelling for 6a)
so I think it is wambenger- an australian marsupial

Just need 26a now to complete- possibly begins with O, coming from
25a Large area to protect carefully, dismissing first person who warned of Trojan horse (7).... possibly LaocOon.... how would that parse if it is correct please?

Thanks dannyk13 for confirmation of the others

[sandyRoe]

Wasn't it Laocoon who said he feared Greeks even when they were bearing gifts?

[dannyk13]

Large area = La
to protect carefully = (c)ocoon
