Greek character grabbed by child is bullish bloke (8)
I believe the answer is:
minotaur
'bullish bloke' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'greek character grabbed by child' is the wordplay.
'greek character' becomes 'tau' (letter from the Greek alphabet).
'grabbed by' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are grabbed inside).
'child' becomes 'minor' (synonyms).
'tau' put within 'minor' is 'MINOTAUR'.
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for minotaur that I've seen before include "Bull-headed Cretan monster" , "Beast of legend" , "Mythical man-bull" , "Mythological man-bull" , "awful beast" .)
