ArchivesPronunciation of Ouranos
I was thinking either ow-RAH-nos or aur-RAH-nos. Anybody know the correct pronunciation?

If you mean the Greek pronunciation, it is oo-rah-NOSS. (Stress on the last sylable, oo like in book, rah like in rather, NOSS like in LOSS.)
Ouranos meaning sky was the name of a Greek paganic god. Its latinezed form is URANUS which in English shold be pronounced yuw-REY-nus. See also URANIA and OURANIA.
