That's why we were taught the "purist" pronunciation, freed of the angicisation. I also did a little ancient Greek.
Thus Paedion (Pighdeeon) and Philios (Fileeos) means I always have a problem pronouncing Paedophile (peedofile) - I need to say "pighdofill", which sounds dumn to others!

I love the french pronunciation of Achiles, BTW - Asheel
