Ancient fertility goddess (7)

I believe the answer is:

astarte

'ancient fertility goddess' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for astarte that I've seen before include "Mediterranean goddess" , "Pagan deity" , "Phoenician love goddess" , "Ancient goddess" , "She might have helped with fertility problems" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times.
