Such easy puzzles, containing hint of Latin and ancient Greek (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aeschylus

'ancient greek' is the definition.
(ancient Greek dramatist)

'such easy puzzles containing hint of latin' is the wordplay.
'puzzles' is an anagram indicator.
'containing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hint of' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'latin' is 'l'.
'such'+'easy'='sucheasy'
'sucheasy' with letters rearranged gives 'aeschyus'.
'aeschyus' placed around 'l' is 'AESCHYLUS'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aeschylus that I've seen before include "Greek tragedian (Oresteia)" , "Old writer" , "Ancient Greek dramatist (Oresteia trilogy)" , "play?" , "Classical Greek playwright" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
