[Facts] Hippolyte
Hi, I was wondering how the name Hippolyte is pronounced. I think that it is used a lot in France but I knew that it is derived from a Greek or Roman name. I looked it up all over the internet and I can't figure it out. Please help.

In France, it is ee-poh-leet. But it is almost unheard of today...

hi-pahl'-i-tee Check this out:http://www.pantheon.org/articles/h/hippolyta.htmlNote: The article references "Hippolyta", but includes "Hippolyte" (with suggested pronunciation) under "Article Details" in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.-- Nanaea
