Third letter of Athens, in ancient Athens (3)

I believe the answer is:

eta

(Other definitions for eta that I've seen before include "When's end of journey predicted" , "Letter from Doris" , "Militants" , "indicating when flight is due" , "Letter of Greek alphabet" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
