HelpRe: Endymion
in reply to a message by Rosebeth
If by "original" Greek pronunciation, you mean Classical Greek, it would probably be something along the lines of /en.dy.'mi.ɔːn/ if you can read IPA; if not, something like "ehn-dy-MEE-on" where the "y" is like in French "tu" or German "über". Personally, in English I'd pronounce it /ɛn.ˈdɪm.i.ən/ or en-DIM-ee-ən like on the BtN page for the name.

I meant Classical Greek, yes. Thank you! The pronunciation we use is very close to the Classical Greek one. At least my SO thought it was, but we weren't sure, so I wanted to check. In any case it's the one that makes most sense to us and in the languages we speak. But we've noticed that people tend to use the English pronunciation as well. I wanted some background before "correcting" them ;-)
