Once-revered figure seen about in Benidorm (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odin

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

'once-revered figure' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'about in benidorm' is the wordplay.
'about' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'nido' can be found hidden inside 'benidorm'.
'nido' reversed gives 'ODIN'.

'seen' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for odin that I've seen before include "Supreme god of war in Norse mythology" , "Legendary ruler" , "who's worshipped" , "King of Norse gods" , "Chief god of Scandinavian myth" .)
