A hero indicated things just unwrapped (7)
I believe the answer is:
theseus
'a hero' is the definition.
(hero in Greek myth)
'indicated things just unwrapped' is the wordplay.
'indicated things' becomes 'these' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'unwrapped' indicates the central letters (the letters which wrap the word are removed).
The middle letters of 'just' are 'us'.
'these'+'us'='THESEUS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for theseus that I've seen before include "authority in the D [DREAM]" , "He slew the Minotaur" , "Occasion when public may visit (eg, school)" , "Athenian king" , "Founder-hero of Athens" .)
