      They were trying to show the hero-like pronunciation applied. Think of e.g. Hercules.

        It’s “Herkules” in german, like you write it, so i don’t know.

  The English pronunciation would be “her-Q-leez”

  For the Greek pronunciation, if I remember what I was told, the long “E” at the end should actually be short; the “R” is mixed with an “L” sound; and the “H” is silent.

  Pronounced something like “eee-lrak-aice”
