Crossword Genius

God of sore confusion (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eros

'god' is the definition.
(Eros is an example)

'sore confusion' is the wordplay.
'confusion' indicates an anagram.
'sore' with letters rearranged gives 'EROS'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for eros that I've seen before include "Famous statue in Piccadilly, London" , "God of love - example of 1 down" , "Rose for the love-god" , "capital statue" , "Pagan god" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
