Right to leave archer for divine Greek lady (3)

I believe the answer is:

eos

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

'divine greek lady' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'right to leave archer' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to leave' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'archer' becomes 'eros' (I've seen this before).
'eros' with 'r' taken out is 'EOS'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eos that I've seen before include "Greek god of the dawn" , "Greek dawn goddess" .)
