Note heroic deed Eliot portrays? (7)
I believe the answer is:
depicts
'portrays?' is the definition.
('depict' can be a synonym of 'portray')
'note heroic deed eliot' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'd' (musical note).
'heroic deed' becomes 'epic' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'eliot' becomes 'ts' (TS Eliot).
'd'+'epic'+'ts'='DEPICTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for depicts that I've seen before include "Describes or shows as picture" , "outlines" , "Paints or draws something" .)
