Messenger of the gods (6)
I believe the answer is:
hermes
'messenger of the gods' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for hermes that I've seen before include "Greek messenger of the gods, like Roman Mercury" , "Greek messenger god" , "Winged messenger" , "Greek god of commerce and theft" , "Messenger and herald of the gods" .)
