tyche

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'divine greek' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'article cracked by young conservatives' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article in English).
'cracked by' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters go into a gap or crack).
'young' becomes 'y'.
'conservatives' becomes 'C' (abbreviation in UK politics).
'y'+'c'='yc'
'the' going around 'yc' is 'TYCHE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for tyche that I've seen is " One bringing personal fortune".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
