Innocent daughter linked to a character in Homer (6)

I believe the answer is:

lambda

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'character in homer' is the definition.
'lambda' can be an answer for 'character' (lambda is a kind of letter of the alphabet). I'm unsure of the 'in homer' bit.

'innocent daughter linked to a' is the wordplay.
'innocent' becomes 'lamb' (I've seen this before).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'linked to' says to put letters next to each other.
'lamb'+'d'+'a'='LAMBDA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lambda that I've seen before include "Teasing entertainer" , "part of the skull" , "Greek character" , "Foreign character" , "character from Greece" .)
