please only answer if you are certain, i'm writing a story about sirens and want to be able to tell people how the names are pronounced.

they are: Ligeia, and Aglaope (I think that last one is ag-la-o-pee, but i'm not positive...tell me if i'm right, correct me if i'm wrong.) thanks!

  1. la-GUY-ah and ahg-LAY-oh-pee

    Greeks pretty much pronounced every letter in the names... like Lucretia is not loo-cree-sha, but loo-CRET-ee-ah.  Usually the emphasis is on the second syllable, unlike Afrikaans where the emphasis is on the first syllable.
