Best Answer

In Greek mythology, Syrinx was the name of a river nymph who was pursued by the god Pan. To escape his attentions, she was turned into a stand of reeds along the riverbank. These hollow reeds fashioned into a set of pipes for playing music became known as syrinx, and the god Pan is often depicted playing them.
