Im just confuse as a non-native english speaker because growing up and familiarizing myself with the Greek Mythology, it was always pronounced as /zoos/ but casters pronounce it as /zey-yus/. So im wondering how should the greek/top-lane god’s name be pronounced?

    It’s very simple actually… Zeus wants his name to be pronounced that way. That’s why casters do it.

    The reason for it being that the korean pronunciation is “Je-woos” which is the inverse of his real name “Woo-je” and he wants his ID to relate to his real name. If you pronounce it Zoos it has nothing to do with his real name anymore.

    That’s the reason. It has nothing to do with cultural appropriation or anything of that bullshit.
