What's the point in Herodotus? (3)
I believe the answer is:
dot
'what's the point' is the definition.
(dot can mean a small point)
'in herodotus?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'DOT' can be found hidden inside 'herodotus'.
(Other definitions for dot that I've seen before include "Marriage portion; spot" , "One signal used in Morse code" , "Tiny speck" , "Absolutely punctual, on it" , "Little mark" .)
