Heroine, tragic victim of hubris? Old enough to see through this (6)
I believe the answer is:
isolde
'heroine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'tragic victim of hubris? old enough to see through this' is the wordplay.
'ISOLDE' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for isolde that I've seen before include "Lover of Tristan" , "Arthurian queen" , "King Mark's betrothed (Wagner)" , "princess of legend" , "Tristram's lover, quite soiled" .)
