Roman name for Odysseus (7)
I believe the answer is:
ulysses
'roman name for odysseus' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ulysses that I've seen before include "Famous novel by James Joyce" , "Husband of Penelope" , "name given to US President at birth" , "work" , "Joyce's mythical being" .)
