    Default Re: How do you pronounce "Pezhetairoi"

    According to the principles of Ancient Greek pronunciation, it would be something like "Pezetaíroi", with the 'e's sounding like the 'e' from "lemon" and the 'ai' and 'oi' like separately (as opposed to modern Greek). The tone is at the first 'i' from 'ai'. I also think you pronounce the 'h' between Pez and Etaíroi slightly. At least in the word Etaíroi you do (it takes a daseia in Ancient Greek, which is an indication for a slight 'h' pronunciation).
