Mime 'Eros Undone' or learn by heart (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

memorise

'learn by heart' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'mime eros undone' is the wordplay.
'undone' is an anagram indicator (the original order is undone).
'mime'+'eros'='mimeeros'
'mimeeros' anagrammed gives 'MEMORISE'.

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for memorise that I've seen before include "Learn by heart" , "Commit information to the mind" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
