Pronunciation of the name of Greek nightmare daemon EPIALES. How do you say it in Greek? ay-PEE-ahl-ays? or?

In greek we say 'εφιάλτης' Efialtes (ay-fee-AHL-tees). It literally means nightmare. It is derived from the ancient greek 'επιάλτης' Epialtes (ay-pee-AHL-tees).

I've noticed that usually, greek words that are stressed in the penult syllable, end up being stressed in the antepenult when transliterated to english. But there is no general stressing rule, it always depends on the root-word, and what part of speech it is.

Is there a general rule for where stresses fall in Greek names?

Pretty much. Epialês was the original form, so I assume it'd be something like eh-PEA-ahl-aire-s

Edit: If you're after Greek speakers ask this again in languages.

Its not Epiales but Ephialtes.

In Greek is written as Εφιάλτης and Its pronounced as E-fee-AL-tees (the caps is the syllabe is stressed)
