A plot translated into Greek (5)
I believe the answer is:
plato
'greek' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'a plot translated' is the wordplay.
'translated' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'plot'='aplot'
'aplot' anagrammed gives 'PLATO'.
'into' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plato that I've seen before include "Ancient Athenian philosopher, pupil of Socrates" , "Moon crater named after Greek philosopher" , "Republic author" , "To pal up with Greek philosopher" , "Republican writer?" .)
