Classical equivalent of Tom, Dick and Harry (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
hoi polloi
'classical equivalent' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hoi polloi that I've seen before include "commoners" , "The unwashed masses!" , "The common people - in Greece" , "Proletariat" , "The masses (Greek)" .)
