Shakespearean misanthrope (5)
I believe the answer is:
timon
'shakespearean misanthrope' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for timon that I've seen before include "- - of Athens (Shakespeare)" , "Greek misanthrope in play" , "title role" , "Shakespearean Athenian" , "legendary misanthrope" .)
