So, very similar to how one would pronounce "choice" in English?

"I don't know how I do it. I'm like the Mr. Bean of sex." -DrunkscriblerianYou wouldn't pronounce it strictly as -oos in Classical Greek. It is pronounced Zeús. -eu sounds vaguely like -aeph. Some dialects used -oos, others didn't.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerYeah, I know. I sat in front of the computer for like 5 minutes repeating the "-eu" part over and over in an attempt to try and get the right sound-to-spelling transliteration.
