In modern Greek yes. But Eta is spelled with <e> and pronounced /eɪtə/ in English because of our loaning of Ancient Greek words into our lexicon. You are correct that modern Greek η is pronounced /ita/ and sounds the same as ι and υ because of sound shifts.
You know that Sheep in ancient greek stories make a sound "βη" Maybe in ancient Greece sheep actually spoke bi bi but it's more likely it's closer to baa or be (but not with english sounding of e)
For their choice of theta... If only there's a Greek letter that represents the O sound that looks like an O...
It doesn't look greek enough though
Despite it being Greek
Yeah, Mick and Ron are English names.
I think omega looks more Greek than theta. Not to mention that it’s also at least phonetically correct.
I think an omega woud have done nicely, even though it woud still be incorrect.
Us Cyrillic script users have the same problem…
Cyrillic: litetally has the letter A that also sounds like an A
Faux Cyrillic: Д
faux Cyrillic is so painful because it's not even like Cyrillic is some ancient vastly different script. it's not even difficult to remember either.
omicron
that's the joke
That sounds like something you’d say to call a cat.
They can’t be serious right now

I tried pronouncing it and my cats came running
Ah, yes, Roman numerals, famously used by checks notes Odysseus
Tis thdpssssps
i think you just summoned a cat
I mean, he's an ancient Greek hero after all
What a cast they got for this one
It's a Nolan film
tês thDpsststsps
'The Odyssey' is the epic about the hero 'Odysseus', so the title refers to the Homeric epic and not to the hero himself.
Isn’t that why people say to cats?
Sounds like they are trying to get a cat to come to them
can this movie get any worse?
Maaaaatt Daaaaaamon.
It’s a musical about Greek cats
"ΤΗΣ ΘDΨSSΣΨ"... Της κακομοίρας, more likely.
Is Zendaya an orphan? Her lack of surname sticks out and ruins the design of the poster even more.
Η/η makes the same sound as i or y not e
In modern Greek yes. But Eta is spelled with <e> and pronounced /eɪtə/ in English because of our loaning of Ancient Greek words into our lexicon. You are correct that modern Greek η is pronounced /ita/ and sounds the same as ι and υ because of sound shifts.
He's an ancient hero, so it's e
Ah ok!
