'enemy of ancient greeks' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'i leave the janitor to throw out' is the wordplay.
'leave' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'to throw out' indicates anagramming the letters.
'janitor' with 'i' taken out is 'jantor'.
'jantor' anagrammed gives 'TROJAN'.
