Greek epic poet (5)
I believe the answer is:
homer
'greek epic poet' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for homer that I've seen before include "pigeon, maybe" , "The classical poet" , "Great Greek who wrote The Iliad" , "Pigeon; classic writer" , "Greek poet, c. 800 BC" .)
