Lover of Leander in Greek mythology (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hero

(Other definitions for hero that I've seen before include "Principal male character in a play, movie, novel or poem" , "Lamp-lighting lover" , "Man admired for outstanding bravery" , "Leading male role" , "Exceptionally courageous person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
