One to resist change as horrible Hera did (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
die hard
'one to resist change' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'horrible hera did' is the wordplay.
'horrible' is an anagram indicator.
'hera'+'did'='heradid'
'heradid' anagrammed gives 'DIE-HARD'.
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for die hard that I've seen before include "movie?" , "Conservative" , "Reactionary" , "Traditionalist" , "missing the old ways" .)
