I pronounce it duh-DALL-lus.
I pronounce it DAY-duh-luhs.
In Modern Greek it is pronounced "DHEDH-ah-los"("dh" representing the th sound of "then" rather than that of "think"). In Ancient Greek it was pronounced "DIED-ah-los."
I pronounce it deed-a-luss.
The ded-a-lus pronunciation might come from seperating the name into a composite name, of the root daedale, and then alus, a reference to the sea.
Everyone I know pronounces this DAY-dal-us, and my Latin teacher pronounces it DIE-dal-us. I've never heard the DED-a-lus pronunciation.
