Editing Syrinx (section)

=== Story ===
Syrinx was a beautiful wood nymph who had many times attracted the attention of satyrs, and fled their advances in turn. She worshipped [[Artemis]], the goddess of wilderness, and, like her, had vowed to remain a virgin for all of time. Pursued by the amorous god [[Pan (god)|Pan]], she ran to a river's edge and asked for assistance from the [[Potamides (mythology)|river nymph]]s. In answer, she was transformed into hollow water [[Phragmites|reed]]s that made a haunting sound when the god's frustrated breath blew across them. Pan cut the reeds to fashion the first set of [[panpipes]], which were thenceforth known as ''{{Linktext|syrinx}}''.<ref name="ov">[[Ovid]], ''[[Metamorphoses]]'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?lookup=Ov.+Met.+1.650 1.689ff]</ref> The word ''[[syringe]]'' is derived from this word.
