in reply to a message by Rosebeth
I don’t know what the Greek pronunciation would be, but I pronounce it en-DIM-ee-ən.

Same.
The few times I've ever heard it said aloud (academic setting), it was pronounced en-DIM-ee-ən, likely a Latinized pronunciation.

The only context I've ever heard it used in, and that was academic all right, was the Keats poem. And I'd bet my non-existent farm that Keats would have said en-DIM-ee-ən, because nobody in his time had the ability or inclination to research the (probable) original pronunciation, so their best guess would have been based on English intuition.
