Good morning, crossword fanatics

Am stuck on 55ac (11)
Legendary abductor greeting solitary king and churchgoer

P///S//////
Anything to do with the person who abducted Helen of Troy?

Also stuck on 42 down (9)
Hebrew king brought up in island location
//R/E///E

Thanks in advance

55a. Parishioner

42d. Israelite

thank you, annobrain.

I don't see how either of these solutions parses. Yes Paris was the abductor but what about the rest of the word?

And what was the island location in 42d?

Meanwhile I am wondering if the answer to 47d (6) is TERROR
Monkey's mistake, sheltering under tree top. it parses just fine but is terror a species of monkey? Or does it mean little monkey as in 'little terror' as applied to naughty kids?

55a PARIS + HI + ONE + R

42 d I = ISLAND
+ SITE
+ LEAR (REVERSED)
