Good parts not for me? A tragedy (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antigone

'a tragedy' is the definition.
(I know that Antigone genre Greek tragedy)

'good parts not for me?' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'parts' means one lot of letters goes inside another (in the sense of cuts or separates).
'not for' becomes 'anti' (I've seen this in another clue).
'me?' becomes 'one' (I've seen this in other clues).
'anti'+'one'='antione'
'g' going into 'antione' is 'ANTIGONE'.

(Other definitions for antigone that I've seen before include "classical play" , "Greek play" , "The Burial at Thebes is Heaney's translation of Sophocle's (8)" , "Make drama" , "Tragedy by Sophocles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
