Although it may be presumptuous of me, a lowly, probably stupid cheerleader, to criticize so intellectual a person as the President of The Harvard Crimson, I feel compelled to comment on Paul M.

After Dionysus pronounces his name as both deye-yon-i-sis and deye-yo-neye-sis in the first two minutes, you begin to sense the shape of things to come. Later, you will hear Lysistrata pronounced as both li-si-stra-ta and leye-si-stra-ta, but by then the mispronounciation will seem only a minor quibble.
