I have to confess to thinking Sophocles was "So-fockles," but then I was about twelve at the time and had never heard anybody pronounce it.

@AndyLowry I’m sure that someone had to explain the joke in Bill & Ted when they pronounce the name “Socrates” as “So-crates.” But now I liberally use that joke.
