from The Metamorphoses
So just at the moment when Pan believed that his Syrinx was caught,
instead of a fair nymph's body, he found himself clutching some marsh reeds.
But while he was sighing in disappointment, the movement of air
in the rustling reeds awakened a thin, low, plaintive sound.
Enthralled by the strange new music and sweetness of tone, Pan exclaimed,
'This sylvan pipe will enable us always to talk together!'
And so, when he'd bound some reeds of unequal length with a coating
of wax, a syrinx – the name of his loved one – stayed in his hands.
– Ovid (8 AD), translated by David Raeburn (2004)
