Epic story written up in some of the dailies (5)
I believe the answer is:
iliad
'epic' is the definition.
(Iliad is an example)
'story written up in some of the dailies' is the wordplay.
'ILIAD' is hidden backwards within the letters.
However, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iliad that I've seen before include "heroic work" , "Epic poem attributed to Homer" , "epic work" , "Poem by 4 across" , "Homer Trojan war epic" .)
