Oh, I parted sadly from love's image (9)
I believe the answer is:
aphrodite
'love's image' is the definition.
(Greek god of love)
'oh i parted sadly' is the wordplay.
'sadly' indicates an anagram.
'oh'+'i'+'parted'='ohiparted'
'ohiparted' is an anagram of 'APHRODITE'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for aphrodite that I've seen before include "Greek goddess of love, like Rome's Venus" , "Greek goddess equivalent to Roman Venus" , "Atrophied (anag.)" , "Atrophied like Greek goddess of love" , "Greek goddess of love, like Roman Venus" .)
