Right to leave archer for divine Greek lady (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eos

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

'divine greek lady' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'right to leave archer' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'to leave' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'archer' becomes 'eros' (I've seen this before).
'eros' with 'r' removed is 'EOS'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eos that I've seen before include "Greek god of the dawn" , "Greek dawn goddess" .)
