Goddess represented in art, I'd hope (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aphrodite

'goddess' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'represented in art i'd hope' is the wordplay.
'represented in' indicates an anagram.
'art'+'id'+'hope'='artidhope'
'artidhope' with letters rearranged gives 'APHRODITE'.

(Other definitions for aphrodite that I've seen before include "Greek goddess of love, like Rome's Venus" , "got Paris's approval" , "Atrophied (anag.)" , "Paris gave her an apple" , "Greek version of Roman Venus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
