Goddess who was a match for Lucifer (5)
I believe the answer is:
vesta
This clue could be a double definition.
'goddess who was a' is the first definition.
'vesta' can be an answer for 'goddess' (Roman goddess). I am not sure about the remainder of the definition.
'match for lucifer' is the second definition.
'vesta' can be an answer for 'match' (type of historical wooden match). I'm not certain of the 'for lucifer' bit.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vesta that I've seen before include "Stave (anag.)" , "Hearth goddess; a match" , "Roman goddess of the hearth" , "heavenly body" , "Asteroid; goddess; match" .)
