Last clue, 23d.
Set against cherubic figure (5) P-T-O
Having a gamble, and typing cherub and Petto in, I get a reference to Dante's Inferno. So far so good, but how does it fit with the clue? Any help welcome.

putto

Many thanks. I consider myself reasonably well educated, but clearly, I have a bit to do yet!

More than one? Then PUTTI
THEA

Putto it must be, because 26ac,'Renegade in a situation put away'(8) is 'apostate'.
