How do you pronounce Thermopylae?
I was told the right pronunciation, but I can't remember it now. It's one of two in my mind.
Θερμοπύλαι= Thermopylai in greek were you see the spirit it is the sylabel you have to tone. English ALWAYS tone the words wrong! You propably say Θερμόπυλαι. BTW αι=ε. Its used in plural in ancient πύλη=gate πύλαι=gates
μηνιν αειδε θεα Πηληιαδεω Αχιληοs ουλομενην
Oh, now I get it.
Yeah, I don't speak Greek.
Can you do that pronunciation in English e.g. (un-der-stand)
Thanks.
