Syrinx in Mythology

The name of the site “She is Reeds” pays homage to the Syrinx archetype.  Syrinx in Greek mythology was considered to be the most beautiful nymph, and a follower of Artemis.  She participated in the chase.  Her sheer beauty captivated the God Pan and he began to pursue her.  She did not want his affections and one day he chased her down to the water’s edge, with no where to go she cried out to her friends, the water nymphs, for help and they turned her into reeds.  Pan knelt beside them clutching his once was Syrinx, his breath blew across them creating an erie song.  He then struck them down and constructed the Pan pipe, it was believed that he played it in memory of her.  In fact the pan pipe is also called the Syrinx.
