Goddess making hen eat (6)
I believe the answer is:
athene
'goddess' is the definition.
(Greek goddess)
'making hen eat' is the wordplay.
'making' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hen'+'eat'='heneat'
'heneat' anagrammed gives 'ATHENE'.
(Other definitions for athene that I've seen before include "patroness of the arts!" , "Minerva was Roman counterpart of this goddess" , "Pallas -, Greek goddess of wisdom" , "deity" , "Wise woman" .)
