Ancient fertility goddess (7)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
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" .)
