I am learning about Greek mythology, and I can't find a site that gives me a good way of pronouncing this greek goddess' name without hearing it. Can anyone give me a good written pronnuciation?

This one is, as I think someone else mentioned, pronounced as: per-sef-uh-nee.
You'll find this indicated in its dictionary enteries—though the online source I list below requires a fee to get at the audio sample pronunctiation, sorry.

Per·seph·o·ne-[per-sef-uh-nee]. She's also called, Proserpina, Pro·ser·pi·na -[proh-sur-puh-nuh]. If you want to pronounce it without hearing it, kindly stuff in something like cotton in your ears.
