Rage in The Iliad confused poet (5,9)
I believe the answer is:
dante alighieri
'poet' is the definition.
(Dante Alighieri is an example)
'rage in the iliad confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates an anagram.
'rage'+'in'+'the'+'iliad'='rageintheiliad'
'rageintheiliad' is an anagram of 'DANTE ALIGHIERI'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
