Revolutionary surrealist inspiring one urban myth (5)
I believe the answer is:
iliad
'urban myth' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'revolutionary surrealist inspiring one' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (letters revolve around).
'surrealist' becomes 'dali' (Salvador Dali).
'inspiring' indicates putting letters inside.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'dali' going around 'i' is 'daili'.
'daili' in reverse letter order is 'ILIAD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iliad that I've seen before include "Greek epic poem about the Trojan War" , "Poem by 4 across" , "Work on war" , "Homer's epic poem on the siege of Troy" , "literary work" .)
