Strange metaphors in Timon of Athens, say (11)
I believe the answer is:
misanthrope
'timon of athens say' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'strange metaphors in' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'metaphors'+'in'='metaphorsin'
'metaphorsin' with letters rearranged gives 'MISANTHROPE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for misanthrope that I've seen before include "Person who dislikes people" , "Person disliking humankind" , "One who hates other people" , "One disliking mankind" , "A hateful guy" .)
