European nemesis of Nike (5,7)
I believe the answer is:
greek goddess
'nike' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'european nemesis' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'greek' (Greece is in Europe).
'nemesis' becomes 'goddess' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'greek'+'goddess'='GREEK GODDESS'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
