Female setter's Greek god (6)
I believe the answer is:
hermes
'greek god' is the definition.
(Hermes is an example)
'female setter's' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'her' (I've seen this before).
'setter's' becomes 'me's' (the setter of the clue).
'her'+'mes'='HERMES'
(Other definitions for hermes that I've seen before include "Greek messenger god" , "Messenger and herald of the gods" , "Greek god of commerce and theft" , "Winged messenger" , "Greek messenger of the gods, like Roman Mercury" .)
