— and Leander, Christopher Marlowe poem published after his death (4)

I believe the answer is:

hero

(Other definitions for hero that I've seen before include "Idol" , "Person distinguished by exceptional courage" , "Leander's love" , "Leander's lover - a person of courage" , "Person lauded for bravery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
