Killer ostrich for some Greek god? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eros

'greek god?' is the definition.
(Eros is an example)

'killer ostrich for some' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EROS' is hidden in the letters of 'killer ostrich for'.

(Other definitions for eros that I've seen before include "Statue of love-god in Piccadilly Circus in London" , "Piccadilly 14 ac statue" , "Name given to statue" , "Greek love-god" , "Deity" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
