One of the ways I kept myself entertained during the pandemic was to come up with fifty or so clues on any given subject for a Sunday morning crossword puzzle. It would be something to keep me occupied while walking, doing the dishes, or having a coffee out on the lawn. As a friend of mine once quipped, “Man, you were made for COVID.”

Anyway, the clues are mine, but the grids were generated by a computer program. I would click through a few of them until I got one that seemed passable, although if I were ever to publish them, I would be more thoughtful about how and where the boxes intersect, in order to provide some additional hints about the answers.

Here’s one I put together in August 2020. As an addendum to my weekend of radio shows on Greco-Roman mythological themes, it’s a crossword about Classical myths in classical music.

To fill out the puzzle, follow the link and select “solve online” at the bottom of the page. You’ll then be able to type directly into the squares. Once you feel you’ve exhausted the clues, you’ll find the solutions by clicking on “Answer Key PDF.”
There’s classical, and then there’s “Classical.” Strap on your thinking cap and your goat leggings, and then head on over here:
