Anybody else? Would be fun to meet one of you face to face.

Tried my hand at making cryptic clues.

Answer is 6 letters

Our (American) football goals look like aitches, so we often use "goalpost/s" for H. But UK football is of course different, and I don't know enough about UK sport (or, as my people say, "sports") to know if it would work across the pond.

If not, what DO you use for the SHAPE of an H? (I assume "hurdle" would work, but I'll take any h-shaped thing you've seen in a cryptic clue.)

Lore (warning: answer inside): According to Greek legend, the hero Cadmus consulted with the Oracle of Delphi. She instructed him to follow a cow across Greece and to build a city on the spot where the cow finally stopped to rest. This ultimately led to the establishment of Thebes, one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the world.
