Stupid bloke holding coat of ravishing, formidable woman (6)
I believe the answer is:
gorgon
This could be a double definition.
'stupid bloke' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'coat of ravishing formidable woman' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'holding' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gorgon that I've seen before include "Either Stheno, Euryale or Medusa" , "She had the power to turn people to stone" , "Medusa such a monster" , "Mythical woman turning people to stone" , "In Greek myth, a snake-haired woman whose look turned men to stone" .)
