I stand corrected. I don't see the X in Polyxena as being an X in the middle of a name, as I am seeing the name as its two components, Poly and Xena. I understand the sound of the X in Alexander and Nyx, but all the pronunciation guides I've seen say that, when X begins a word, pronunciation is Z (Except in Chinese).

So, X is the same in Xanthippe, Alexander, Xenophone, and Polyxena? OK.

PS: Come to think of it, the Russians spell Xenia K-S-E-N-I-A.
