Hero worshiper? (7)
I believe the answer is:
leander
'hero worshiper?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for leander that I've seen before include "Hero's hero" , "Hero's lover; rowing club" , "Heroic lover" , "youth who drowned" , "Ill-fated lover" .)
