Help[Opinions] Re: Kore
in reply to a message by Megan
No, not at all - wouldn't want to go around pronouncing a name wrongly all the time :-) I was influenced, I suppose, by Phoebe and Zoe. But the name Kore definitely isn't pronounced as such?

Greek vowel cominations are very strange. For instance Boeotia is pronounced Bee-o-sh-ah. An e on the end of a word is pronounced ee usually, but not in this case. I have heard Kore pronounced Kor-ay as well but it should be a short vowel. Remember too that ancient greek is pronounced differently than modern greek!
