Stuck on last two. 21d - fate who severs thread of life, and 29d - pigment made from cochineal. Many thanks in anticipation.

21d Antropos
29d Carmine

[Donmar]

Thanks Aquagility. But Antropos has too many letters, and doesn't fit in with other answers a?r?p?s - or have I gone wrong somewhere?

[Aquagility]

Sorry, Donmar - Atropos

[Donmar]

Thanks for your update. I did look up atropos thinking the extra letter might have been entered accidentally but it is not listed in my Seiko Britannica - I should have extended my research!

[Aquagility]

Atropos was the oldest of the Three Fates, and was known as the "inflexible" or "inevitable."

I realise I have large gaps in my knowledge. Thanks so much for filling in some of them!
