The name Corfu comes from an Italianized version of the Byzantine name Korufo.<\/p>\n<p>I use the pronunciation of &#8220;Korkyra&#8221; with an O because it reflects the more common version of the name as listed in ancient accounts \u2014 adherence to the original ancient version is also why I&#8217;m using Ks in place of any Latinized Cs.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially: I&#8217;m spelling everything the ancient way, but using modern Greek phonetics to sound out those words. It&#8217;s an uncommon way to go about, but it feels like the right balance of ancient authenticity and modern linguistic continuity.<br \/>\n-B <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-11-at-10-59-05-City-Minutes-The-Athenian-Empire-Quotulatiousness.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-11-at-10-59-05-City-Minutes-The-Athenian-Empire-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-68920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-11-at-10-59-05-City-Minutes-The-Athenian-Empire-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-11-at-10-59-05-City-Minutes-The-Athenian-Empire-Quotulatiousness-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-11-at-10-59-05-City-Minutes-The-Athenian-Empire-Quotulatiousness-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot-2021-10-11-at-10-59-05-City-Minutes-The-Athenian-Empire-Quotulatiousness.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overly Sarcastic Productions Published 25 Jun 2021 Deja Vu?
