Speak about Erato? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orate

'speak' is the definition.
(orating is a kind of speaking)

'about erato?' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'erato' anagrammed gives 'ORATE'.

(Other definitions for orate that I've seen before include "Pontificate" , "Speak in florid style" , "Give speech" , "Make a formal speech" , "Speak formally" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
