Hate an eccentric goddess (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

athena

'goddess' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hate an eccentric' is the wordplay.
'eccentric' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hate'+'an'='hatean'
'hatean' anagrammed gives 'ATHENA'.

(Other definitions for athena that I've seen before include "Greek goddess of wisdom etc." , "One-time goddess" , "Greek goddess of a capital city" , "wise but fierce goddess" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
