Deity able to pen a melody? (7)
I believe the answer is:
neptune
'deity' is the definition.
(Neptune is an example)
'able to pen a melody?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'pen' is 'nep' which is within the answer.
'melody?' could be 'tune' (synonyms) and 'tune' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for neptune that I've seen before include "One distanced from The Sun" , "Sea god - outer planet" , "Holst movement?" , "Eighth planet from the Sun" , "Roman sea-god" .)
