Look up to Paul, a hero (6)
I believe the answer is:
revere
I believe this clue is a triple definition!
'look up to' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'paul' is the second definition.
(18th-century silversmith Paul Revere)
'a hero' is the third definition.
(I have seen 'American hero' mean 'revere' so perhaps 'hero' could also mean 'revere')
(Other definitions for revere that I've seen before include "Worship and adore" , "Have enormous respect for" , "Look up to - American patriot, d. 1818" , "Paul of the famous midnight ride" , "Hold in awe" .)
