How to pronounce Mnemosyne?

I did a web search, and the amount of ways to pronounce Mnemosyne seems overwhelming. Granted, a lot of these different ways are small, like oh instead of ah, but some of them are very different, which confuses me. So which way is right? Is there a right way at all? Thank you!

"ni-MAWS-ə-nee" is the traditional English pronunciation

"mnee-mo-SEE-nee" is probably the Greek pronunciation

I confirm that "mnee-mo-SEE-nee" is probably the Greek pronunciation ;-)
