Caught in passion with European goddess (6)
I believe the answer is:
hecate
'goddess' is the definition.
(I know that Hecate is a goddess)
'caught in passion with european' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'passion' becomes 'hate' (hate is a passionate emotion).
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'c' inserted into 'hate' is 'hcate'.
'hcate' placed around 'e' is 'HECATE'.
(Other definitions for hecate that I've seen before include "Greek goddess of the Underworld" , "Goddess of dark places gets the ace" , "Greek goddess of witchcraft and ghosts" , "Female with spells" , "evil witch" .)
