Puzzle uniqueness:
A themeless. Looked tough at the start, but after I got a few short answers, three of the four fifteen-letter answers were in my wheelhouse, which broke it open.
Words I hadn't known until now:
AXILLA - "Armpit, to a doctor"
PAPIER - "Le Monde material" (As I've said before, Spanish is more my thing than Fr. or It.)
ATALANTA - "Only woman aboard the Argo, it's said"
Trivia I didn't know:
HEBRIDES - "Skye, the Small Isles, etc.
Junk Answers:
AWS - "Sounds of pity"
ECCLES - "Book after Proverbs: Abbr."
TRAD - "Like many folk songs: Abbr."
Clever clues:
TAN - "Change one's tone?"
RODEO - "What may involve the calf muscles?"
