Can someone please give me a hint for 32ac? I have the answer, but a hint for the wordplay would be appreciated

Thanks, Unclued.
Sammina, I didn't parse 32 either, though I think the answer is a place near Mull...

I am also going for Aeschylus. Indeed, the first part of his name exists (in a fragment, somewhat like the second related work) in the grid parallel with the hidden word; I wonder if Ifor was originally going to try to include the name as well.

For those stuck on understanding 32ac think about how the word "diversionary" may be adjusted. A tough clue!

"leading across" refers to 1ac.

Thanks MC! Indeed a tough clue, brilliant solving. I never would've come up with that.
Great puzzle, and I learned something new. Thanks, Ifor

I agree with heisenberg's choice. There are only two possible authors of the two works represented by the two grids (and the title words). Percy Bysshe Shelley is one, but there is no doubt about his authorship. Therefore the intended one must be the classical author, where there is some divergence of opinion on the matter, particularly with regard to the second work. This seems to be implied in the preamble phrase "traditionally ascribed to."

I assume we are looking at 'bound' and 'unbound' in the respective grids.

Yes Ollie. It means if you send in a solution you must submit the "unbound" version.
