"Metamorphoses” poet (4)
I believe the answer is:
ovid
'metamorphoses poet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ovid that I've seen before include "Vi, do read the Latin poet" , "Roman poet N void (anag)" , "Void for old Roman poet" , "Old linesman" , "Roman love poet" .)
