How do your pronounce Leonidas?

I'd appreciate if there an audio file for it. I've tried several sites, and none of which had a transcription nor an audio file.

Is the first part "Leo" pronounceed as "Leo" the proper name or as "lyo"?
And "nidas" is it pronounced as "needas" or "naydas"?
As is that s pronounced as s or z.


Thanks, :)
