The end of Hector, as Homer wrote it? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rho

'the end' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'of hector as homer wrote it?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rh' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

(Other definitions for rho that I've seen before include "Gr. letter written as P" , "Sophocles character" , "Greek P" , "Greek letter R" , "Greek character" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
