Pronunciation Pointers

  In Mythology, there are some names of gods, places, items, etc. that sound different from the way they are spelled. So, to make sure you are pronouncing things properly, here are some notes on the pronunciations of the names for the Greek and Roman deities:

⦁ If you see a C or a CH, then pronounce it as K. For example, Chronos is pronounced KRONOS.

⦁ If you see a name with an E at the end, then it must be pronounced as well. For example, Aphrodite is pronounced: A-fro-d-I-t-EE.

And here is one note on the pronunciations of the Norse names:

⦁ If you see a J, then it must be pronounced Ya, as in the word jotun (pronounced Yo-tun)

Here is an Egyptian pronunciation note:

• "Kh", is pronounced with a heavy and rattly "ha", like the god Khnum (pronounced Hanum)

I'll include more notes along the way.
