Good morning and thanks Globus. Sunny day here.
Last full week of the school year, so plenty to do and not much time for puzzling.
Could do with some help with the parsing for this one.

Got to go now but let me give the answer to 22A as I'm a bit of a whizz on Greek goddesses. Her daughter was Persephone.
For 21A you need the atomic number for tin. Prefer proper real ale myself!
