God of sore confusion (4)
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" .)
