Greek ruins some chicken by cooking (9)
I believe the answer is:
parthenon
'greek ruins some chicken by cooking' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'some chicken by cooking' is the wordplay.
'some' becomes 'part' (only part of something).
'chicken' becomes 'hen' (hen is a kind of chicken).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'cooking' becomes 'on' (I've seen this in other clues).
'part'+'hen'+'on'='PARTHENON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parthenon that I've seen before include "ruined Greek temple" , "Temple of Athene on Acropolis in Athens" , "Ancient temple" , "Temple on the Athenian Acropolis" , "Tourist attraction of Athens" .)
