Goddess of discord returns to see father (4)
I believe the answer is:
sire
'father' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'goddess of discord returns' is the wordplay.
'goddess of discord' becomes 'eris' (I've seen this in another clue).
'returns' says the letters should be written backwards.
'eris' back-to-front is 'SIRE'.
'to see' is the link.
(Other definitions for sire that I've seen before include "Male parent of, say, horse" , "Foal's father" , "Ancestor" , "Male parent of a horse, for example" , "Make children" .)
