How Do You Spell EPHIGENIOS?

Pronunciation: [ɛfˈa͡ɪd͡ʒnɪˌə͡ʊz] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "Ephigenios" is quite unique and could pose a challenge for those unfamiliar with Greek names. The correct pronunciation is /ɛfɪdʒɛnioʊs/ with the emphasis on the third syllable. The "E" at the beginning is pronounced like the "e" in "egg" and the "ph" is pronounced like an "f". The "g" and "n" in the middle create a nasal sound, as in "sing". The "io" is pronounced like "ee-oh". The final "s" should be pronounced as an "s" not a "z".
