Greek in Northern Ireland entertained by Anthea Turner? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

athenian

'greek' is the definition.
(I know that Athenian is a type of greek)

'northern ireland entertained by anthea turner?' is the wordplay.
'northern ireland' becomes 'NI' (abbreviation).
'entertained by' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are hosted or entertained).
'turner?' indicates anagramming the letters (letters must turn into another order).
'anthea' is an anagram of 'athean'.
'ni' placed inside 'athean' is 'ATHENIAN'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for athenian that I've seen before include "One from the Greek capital" , "Resident of Greek capital" , "Citizen of Greece's capital" , "Native of Grecian capital" , "European citizen" .)
