I used to pronounce Persephone like Saxophone (Purse-a-phone) until I played Hades.

I called the Progressive Metal band of the same name like that for like 5 years until I told a friend about them and they did the "hahaha.. Wait, what did you call them?" and right then and there my life changed

Sax-o-phie, wow it's completely unrecognizable as the same word.
Who needs consistent pronunciation rules anyway?

Testikles was lowkey one of the best characters in Odyssey. It's an absolute shame that that large, greased man wasn't used more throughout the game.

Sax-of-phony sounds a bit like cacophony, so it sort of fits. A potential future eggcorn.
