I know how I would pronounce Leda in Sweden, but how is it pronounced in English? And in the original Greek languagae?

I learned my lesson well.

So you got to please yourself."

Thank you, can you contribute the information?

In the database itself. It would be useful for other ignorants in the future.

Many times the pronounciation is missing. Don't if it is b/c Mike did not know himself or b/c he had not time to put it there?

Leda is pronounced LEE-dah in Greek as well.

...or to be a little more precise, LEE-tha
(where "-tha" is pronounced as in the word "that")
