Syrinx was a nymph that was a follower of Diana. Pan pursed Syrinx but she would not give in to his advances. While fleeing from Pan, Syrinx asked the water nymphs for help and they obliged by turning her into marsh reeds just as Pan was about to grab her. As Pan sighed at the sight of only reeds in his grasp, he noticed that it caused the reeds to make a delicate sound. He cut the reeds into unequal lengths, joined them together, and gave the instrument the nymph's name.
