Greek god posed with lyre, undressed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satyr

'greek god' is the definition.
(satyr is a kind of greek god)

'posed with lyre undressed' is the wordplay.
'posed' becomes 'sat' (posed or sat for an artist).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'undressed' indicates the central letters (the word removes the letters which clothe it).
The middle letters of 'lyre' are 'yr'.
'sat'+'yr'='SATYR'

(Other definitions for satyr that I've seen before include "lecher" , "Trays (anag.)" , "Lecherous woodland goat-man deity" , "Goatish deity" , "Chaser of wine and women" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
