Crossword Genius

Woman tempted from Nineveh (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eve

'woman tempted' is the definition.

'from nineveh' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'EVE' is hidden within 'nineveh'.

(Other definitions for eve that I've seen before include "First lady from the night before" , "when it gets dark" , "Lady first appearing" , "Adam & - -" , "Mother of Abel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
