Ancient Greek female has pop disturbed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sappho

'ancient greek female' is the definition.
(Greek poet)

'has pop disturbed' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' is an anagram indicator.
'has'+'pop'='haspop'
'haspop' with letters rearranged gives 'SAPPHO'.

(Other definitions for sappho that I've seen before include "Greek lyric poetess" , "Pa hops about Greek poet from Lesbos" , "Sixth century BC Greek poetess" , "Ancient Greek poet of Lesbos" , "Greek lyric poet of Lesbos" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
