Greek woman stirred treacle (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

electra

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'greek woman' is the definition.
'Electra' can be an answer for 'woman'. I'm unsure of the 'greek' bit.

'stirred treacle' is the wordplay.
'stirred' indicates an anagram.
'treacle' anagrammed gives 'ELECTRA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for electra that I've seen before include "female in tragedy" , "vengeful daughter" , "Greek tragedy" , "Agamemnon's daughter" , "Complex girl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
