I'm stuck on 17D and 21A. My answer to 25A ends in"S".  17D I think ends in "E". If my 17D is correct, my 21A is ?A?A, which I cannot work out from the clue. Any help appreciated.

What are the clues?

Question Author

17D: Lot getting obese with little energy; I think this should be "fate"

21A: Greek character had to retreat;

25A: Rome has new clothes features (this clue is one which wordplay omits a letter) my answer is "armholes".

>>> I think this should be "fate"

. . . or possibly 'feat'?

It looks like 'fate' but the clue is deliberately misleading - it's another letter jumble in the clue (look at the 3rd word).

21a def Greek letter [wordplay misses 'b'] a 3 letter word for 'had' reversed.
