pólis khrisokhús
I don't know what phonetic symbols you are familiar with, so:
pólis is pronounced like 'police' but with the stress on the first syllable as in 'polish'
In khrisokhús you've got to be careful with the Greek 'kh' sound. Practise with 'khróma' (=colour) here:

The stress is on the last syllable and the -s- sounds are again like the final -s- sound in 'police'.

: Careful with that "polish" Nick. There may be Americans in the house (or even Poles). Perhaps 'solace' would be a better rhyme.
