Answers about next deity (6)
I believe the answer is:
athena
'deity' is the definition.
(I know that Athena is Greek deity)
'answers about next' is the wordplay.
'answers' becomes 'aa' (an abbreviation for answer written twice).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'next' becomes 'then' (both can mean subsequently).
'aa' enclosing 'then' is 'ATHENA'.
(Other definitions for athena that I've seen before include "Greek goddess of a capital city" , "One-time goddess" , "Greek goddess of wisdom etc." , "wise but fierce goddess" .)
