Draw representation of Athens in strange hue (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unsheathe

'draw' is the definition.
(I know that unsheathe is a type of draw)

'representation of athens in strange hue' is the wordplay.
'representation of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'athens' anagrammed gives 'nsheat'.
'hue' anagrammed gives 'uhe'.
'nsheat' going within 'uhe' is 'UNSHEATHE'.

(Other definitions for unsheathe that I've seen before include "Remove from cover like sword" , "Take out of scabbard" , "Draw from a scabbard" , "Draw out (a knife)" , "Draw (a sword)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
