Some of the fatal antagonists for one thwarted by golden apples (8)
I believe the answer is:
atalanta
'some of the fatal antagonists for one thwarted by golden apples' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'some of the fatal antagonists for' is the wordplay.
'some of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ATALANTA' is hidden in the letters of 'fatal antagonists for'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for atalanta that I've seen before include "Legendary runner outwitted" , "Greek huntress defeated in a running race" , "Greek runner" , "girl who stopped to pick apples" , "fast woman" .)
