Harpo tied perhaps to love goddess (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aphrodite

'love goddess' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'harpo tied perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'harpo'+'tied'='harpotied'
'harpotied' is an anagram of 'APHRODITE'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aphrodite that I've seen before include "Sex goddess" , "Greek goddess of love, like Rome's Venus" , "Atrophied like Greek goddess of love" , "Greek goddess of love, like Roman Venus" , "Greek goddess equivalent to Roman Venus" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
