noun modifier

by kedieez967 Sat Jul 11, 2015 5:35 am

the problem is from Manhattan Sentence Correction.

Some critics of the Olympian Party candidate Zeus Pater's are pleased that he has chosen Artemis Rhodes, the prefect of Alexandria, to be his running mate; as many commentators have pointed out, her views on social issues are more in line with the Olympian Party platform than are Pater's.

"the prefect of Alexandria" modifies Artemis Rhodes, but AR is a person, but the modifier is an abstract noun. So i think it is a little weird.

could somebody give me some clarifications at this problem? Thanks.
