Can't make any sense of these two. As ever, any help would be welcome.
19d. Wife held in discredit, being in prison once (7) N-W---E. I guess the W is for wife, but nohere and discredit?
28a. The job would be a bit too much for these Athenian characters (6) T-E---
I think this is the plural of a greek letter, so possible thetas, but again, I don't get the wordplay. Any thoughts?

W for wife in Negate= Newgate

Thetas

The tas(k)

19d. W (wife) held in discredit (negate) = Newgate (once a prison)
28a. The job (the task) minus the k = thetas (greek letters)

I can't believe it!! So obvious!! Many thanks.
