OH-bah-MAH (rhymes with Omaha, as in Omaha, Nebraska) says “OR-ee-UN” (rhymes with Dorian, as in The Picture of Dorian Gray). I could pronounce Casseopoeia when I was 8.

Actually, just to clarify, it is properly pronounced or-ee-un as in ryhmes with dorian - no sarc here. I know lots of people say Oh- Ri - Un, but his pronunciation is the proper one if you are not anglicizing it.
