how do you pronounce pyrrhus and canae

[abou]

i am a self taught man, so all my information comes from books. i have always been curious how to pronounce those two things

i assume pyrrhus is pie-rus and canae is can-eye, but then there is the phrase phyrric victory, and that makes me wonder if its fy-rus

seems to be a few history buffs here, so i thought i'd ask

Pyrrhus
The Latin Y at the time stood for the Greek Upsilon, which had a sound similar to the German U in über if long and French U in tu if short. In the actual Greek, it would have an -os ending with the Omicron pronounced similar to the O in go. The H in the name indicates an aspiration of the vowel before it. it is pretty subtle and I doubt anyone would call you out on it if you didn't include it.

Pyr'rhos.


Cannae
Mostly correct how you have it, but you forgot the second N.

Can'nae
