Re: Rheia / Rhea
in reply to a message by whim
I'd pronounce them both as REE-ə, and I'd assume that Rheia was either a mistake or an attempt to be different.
I find Rhea a bit uncomfortable, like other goddess names. I knew a Venus once who was plump, stooped, elderly, had never married and always dressed in black; she was an intensely competitive Scrabble player. Didn't work. But, rather a goddess than a flightless bird.
