Doctor near curing poet's Hellenic object of desire (7,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grecian urn

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

'poet's hellenic object of desire' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'doctor near curing' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'near'+'curing'='nearcuring'
'nearcuring' anagrammed gives 'GRECIAN URN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grecian urn that I've seen before include "Amphora, for example" , "For 11 [ODE] subject" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
