medea

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

'helped to fleece her father' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'regularly meet deejay' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'meet'+'deejay'='meetdeejay'
The alternating letters of 'meetdeejay' are 'MEDEA'.

'who' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for medea that I've seen before include "Tragedy by Euripides" , "Mythological Greek princess" , "Greek sorceress" , "In Greek myth, Jason's wife who killed their children in jealous rage" , "Greek princess who helped Jason get the Golden Fleece" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
