Shore up revival for legendary musician (7)
I believe the answer is:
orpheus
'legendary musician' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'shore up revival' is the wordplay.
'shore up' anagrams to 'ORPHEUS'.
Though, I'm not clear how this is indicated.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orpheus that I've seen before include "Legendary musician" , "Legendary Greek poet, who lost Eurydice tragically" , "In Greek myth, poet who followed Eurydice into the Underworld" , "Husband to Eurydice" , "In Greek myth he followed his wife Eurydice into the underworld" .)
