Greek capital comes to a different point, as far as the goddess is concerned (6)
I believe the answer is:
athene
'greek' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'capital comes to a different point as far as the goddess is concerned' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'point' could be 'then' (then is a kind of point) and 'then' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for athene that I've seen before include "Pallas -, Gr. goddess" , "One inclined towards socialism or communism" , "deity" , "patroness of the arts!" , "Wise woman" .)
