Help[Opinions] Re: Question about Pronounciation
in reply to a message by Una Goodchild
According to this website
http://reference.aol.com/columbia/_a/ismene/20051206061509990007
the correct English pronunciation is is-mee-nee. In other countries it can be different, though. In France it is ees-mehn and they mostly write it as Ismène. And I believe that the ancient Greek pronunciation was is-me-ne (with the 'e' as in Emma).

I agree that is-me-ne (with the "e"s sounding like the e in Emma) would be the original prononciation.
The english prononciation sounds not so great to me in fact, like "is meany" ... "is a meany" oO;; too many "i"/"ee" sounds for me
