Sometimes I think I have got classical Greek pronunciation cracked, then I come across oddities. Here is one. It would be great if anyone could put me right on this one, and explain where the odd pronunciations come from, and perhaps give some clues as to how to check out other odd things.
This one is the pronunciation of the titles of some of Plato's dialogues.
The Meno seems to get pronounced with a long e, but in Greek it is an epsilon. People say Mee-no, when I would expect Meno with the first syllable sounding like men (as opposed to women)
The other one is the Phaedo. The Greek has alpha-iota, so I would expect the pronunciation Fido (like the dog), but a lot of people say Fee-do.
