I know how I would pronounce Leda in Sweden, but how is it pronounced in English? And in the original Greek languagae?

I learned my lesson well.
You see you can’t please everyone
So you got to please yourself."

Thank you, can you contribute the information?

In the database itself. It would be useful for other ignorants in the future.

Many times the pronounciation is missing. Don't if it is b/c Mike did not know himself or b/c he had not time to put it there?

...or to be a little more precise, LEE-tha
(where "-tha" is pronounced as in the word "that")
