I'm pronouncing Mycenaean & Mycenae with a hard "K" sound because that's how it sounds in Greek, and I would not be so impolite as to mispronounce the name of the first Greekspeaking civilization in history.
(The name of "Mycenae" can be spelled Μυκῆναι or Μυκήνη, and I'm using the first one: meeKEEneh)
