Island nation's losing a part of Greece (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

samos

This clue could be a double definition.

'island' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a part of greece' is the second definition.
(greek island)

'nation's losing' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to one of the definitions.

(Other definitions for samos that I've seen before include "Aegean Sea island" , "Greek island?" , "birthplace of Pythagoras" , "somewhere in the Aegean" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
