that moment when, in your heart of hearts, you know that 95-100% of your readership simply is not pronouncing your protagonist's name correctly
and you also know, in your heart of hearts, that it is entirely your own fault for naming him that. lmao
#I know you probably aren't pronouncing phaidros's name right because it took me like an hour to pronounce his name right#between the research and the practice and the roman version of the name cluttering up results#disaster#oh well#the d sound in particular is very different from how english speakers might expect#the simplest way to explain it is that 'phaid' sounds like the 'feath' part of 'feather' in english#that should get you most of the way there lmao#like... it's a softer sound than you would expect...#the thing that helped me most was finding the pronunciations for phaistos (in crete) and daidalos (...the guy)#pasiphae is not easy either lmao#aitnists
