Although the pronunciation a-dras'-tee-a is common in astronomical web sites, some agree with the Dictionary of Classical Mythology (JE Zimmerman, Harper & Row, 1964) and the Columbia Encyclopedia in having a'-dras-tee'-a. The difference depends on whether you look to the Latin or to the Greek: most names from the Greek classics have been filtered through Latin, and the accent has often shifted. Astronomical bodies that we've known of longer, such as the Galilean satellites, have a Latinate pronunciation, whereas there's often dispute with more recent names.
Since the Greek penult is heavy, the literary English (Latinate) pronunciation has penultimate stress. The Greek spelling is included for those of you who'd prefer that instead. --kwami 02:13, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Edit on 9th October
If my English serves me correctly, the article states that the spacecraft did not find anything smaller than Adrastea but can find Adrastea itself.
I'm reverting.
