Syrinx = Siringa, ninfa seguace di Artemide, si innamorò il dio Pan. Siringa, per sfuggire al dio, scappò fino alle rive del fiume Ladone. Qui invocò le Naiadi, che la trasformarono in un fascio di canne palustri che al soffio del vento emettevano un suono delicato. Unendo alcune di esse, Pan costruì un nuovo strumento musicale al quale diede il nome di siringa in ricordo della ninfa. – In classical mythology, Syrinx was a nymph and a follower of Artemis, known for her chastity. Pursued by the amorous Greek god Pan, she ran to a river's edge and asked for assistance from the river nymphs. In answer, she was transformed into hollow water reeds that made a haunting sound when the god's frustrated breath blew across them. Pan cut the reeds to fashion the first set of pan pipes, which were thenceforth known as syrinx. The word syringe was derived from this word.
