Opens my translation with Hamlet and Faust for example (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eponyms

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hamlet and faust for example' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'opens my translation' is the wordplay.
'translation' indicates anagramming the letters.
'opens'+'my'='opensmy'
'opensmy' with letters rearranged gives 'EPONYMS'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eponyms that I've seen before include "Words derived from a person's name" , "Words derived from persons' names" .)
