Greek god, resentful, rises (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eros

'greek god' is the definition.
(Eros is an example)

'resentful rises' is the wordplay.
'resentful' becomes 'sore' (I've seen this before).
'rises' is a reversal indicator.
'sore' in reverse letter order is 'EROS'.

(Other definitions for eros that I've seen before include "God of love - example of 1 down" , "Circus boy" , "London landmark" , "Asteroid - Greek god of love" , "Arrow-shooting god" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
