Run away from anger and depression in Greece (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tempe

'depression in greece' is the definition.
(the Vale of Tempe is a gorge in Greece)

'run away from anger' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'away from' is a deletion indicator.
'anger' becomes 'temper' (I've seen this before).
'temper' with 'r' removed is 'TEMPE'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tempe that I've seen before include "beauty spot" , "Grecian vale" , "valley of great beauty" , "beautiful valley" , "A beautiful place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
