Awesome character in two Greek plays (4)
I believe the answer is:
ogre
'awesome character' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'in two greek plays' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'OGRE' is hidden in the letters of 'two greek plays'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ogre that I've seen before include "Human-eating giant" , "Fairy tale monster" , "Wicked giant" , "Terrifying man" , "Man-eating giant of folklore" .)
