People often emulated that man and revolted, we hear (6)
I believe the answer is:
heroes
'people often emulated that' is the definition.
'heroes' can be an answer for 'people' (hero is a kind of person). I'm not certain of the rest of the definition.
'man and revolted we hear' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'revolted' becomes 'rose' (I've seen this before).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'rose' is a homophone of 'roes'.
'he'+'roes'='HEROES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heroes that I've seen before include "Record sung by 14 [BOWIE]" , "Chief (male) characters of book, film, etc" , "Brave people" , "Principal characters in fiction" , "Courageous persons" .)
