The dailies held back this story (5)
I believe the answer is:
iliad
'this story' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Old story' mean 'iliad' so perhaps 'story' could also mean 'iliad')
'the dailies held back' is the wordplay.
'ILIAD' is hidden back-to-front in amongst the letters.
But, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iliad that I've seen before include "Epic piece of writing" , "City investment story" , "Homer's epic account of the Trojan war" , "ancient tale" , "Homer's tale" .)
