Hey, remember me? It's been a long time since I've posted,but I remembered that you are the all-wise resident Greek name expert, and I need help with a name. I'm reading a book with the name Iolanthe. It's so hard to read when the character's name can't be read properly! I found it's name and meaning on this site, even the pronunciation. It's the pronunciation part I need help with. Could you break it down for me a little more?
The site has it as follows: ie-o-LAN-thee
Is the "ie" like the sound made in "cheese"?\
Is the "LAN" part said like "land" w/out the "d"?

I appreciate any help!!! Thanks.
