pantheon

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

'the great and the good' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'criticise article about' is the wordplay.
'criticise' becomes 'pan' (informal term meaning to criticise heavily).
'article' becomes 'the' (the 'definite article' part of speech).
'about' becomes 'on' (**).
'pan'+'the'+'on'='PANTHEON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pantheon that I've seen before include "Hall of fame" , "Circular temple in Rome" , "Temple of all the gods in ancient Greece" , "church" , "Roman building" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
