She loved Paris not only in the spring (5,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
helen of troy
'spring' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'she loved paris not only in the' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'she' could be 'helen' and 'helen' is found within the answer.
'not' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for helen of troy that I've seen before include "She went to Paris" , "Her face "launched a thousand ships"" , "She was abducted by Paris, starting a war" , "Femme fatale" , "Famous beauty" .)
