[Opinions] Re: Persephone
I've never heard it pronounced any other way but per-seff-o-nee either. As far as I know, that's the only pronunciation. It's definitely the original pronunciation.
But I can't imagine it would be mispronounced that often. Although, I find that I give the general public more credit than they deserve. Apparently there are a lot of people who don't read and/or aren't familiar with mythology even though you learn it in school. I guess they don't pay attention or retain information. I don't understand people.
