Once-revered figure seen about in Benidorm (4)
I believe the answer is:
odin
'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" .)
