Crossword Genius

Greek poetess with an aversion to fools erasing name on biro? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sappho

'greek poetess' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for sappho that I've seen before include "Greek lyric poet of Lesbos" , "Greek lyric poetess" , "Pa hops around the ancient Greek poetess" , "Greek female poet" , "Pa hops about Greek poet from Lesbos" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
