Goddess of light? (5)
I believe the answer is:
vesta
This clue could be a double definition.
'goddess' is the first definition.
(Roman goddess)
'light?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vesta that I've seen before include "Hearth goddess; a match" , "heavenly body" , "Asteroid; goddess; match" , "Roman goddess of the hearth" , "Roman goddess; match" .)
