Cornell's city (6)
I believe the answer is:
ithaca
'cornell's city' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ithaca that I've seen before include "Homeric legendary island of King Odysseus" , "part of NY" , "Ionian island, home of Ulysses" , "Greek island, legendary home of Odysseus" , "Legendary island sought by Ulysses" .)
