scroll down to the letter T and you'll find Titanes and you can hear it pronounced "teetaaness"
Yes, but that's the ancient Greek pronunciation.
The ancient Greeks didn't discover Titanium, we did, and as such it took our pronunciation of the word, not theirs.
I'm pretty confident that the OED did their homework before including the word so if they say its 'tie', thats good enough for me.
