This week’s TLS is a bit scary and may get the better of me. For now, I’d like help with this one -

Bishop in calamitous battle with Satan, an evil creature in epic poetry (7,5)

I have only B???T in the second word which I suspect may be “beast”

Thanks.

Thanks, I was nowhere near that but I’d realised it must be something despair.
