Promethean gift to Alexander I fomenting Rising in part (4)
I believe the answer is:
fire
'promethean gift' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'alexander i fomenting rising in part' is the wordplay.
'in part' indicates a hidden word.
'rising' is a reversal indicator (going up in a down clue).
'erif' is hidden in the letters of 'alexander i fomenting'.
'erif' backwards is 'FIRE'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fire that I've seen before include "Blaze - sack" , "Flame - dismiss - shoot" , "There's no smoke without it" , "Shoot; sack" , "Inspire" .)
