> so it was pronounced like “seek”
How do you know? I doubt it, but maybe my stress on seeek is just too long. Good to know it's not as sick, anyhow.

Given that formally structured poetry in English (not sure if the same is true of other current languages) often uses somewhat different from usual pronunciation (in ways that are both immediately obvious to a reader familiar with the poetic style, and understandable if unusual to a listener hearing the spoken poem), I would worry that leaning too heavily on this as evidence might potentially be misleading .
[Vox Latina](https://www.amazon.com/Vox-Latina-Guide-Pronunciation-Classi...) is a good resource for reconstructed classical pronunciation.
