Once-revered figure seen about in Benidorm (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'once-revered figure' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'about in benidorm' is the wordplay.
'about' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'nido' can be found hidden inside 'benidorm'.
'nido' backwards is 'ODIN'.

'seen' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for odin that I've seen before include "Supreme god of war in Norse mythology" , "Legendary ruler" , "who's worshipped" , "King of Norse gods" , "Chief god of Scandinavian myth" .)
