A Nymph From Greek Mythology
NOTES ON THE TALE OF SYRINX

Back in the 1970's I wrote a song for dulcimer entitled 'Syrinx

Rising From the Swamp.'

The legend of Syrinx has appealed to numerous artists over the

years. Debussy is among them, who celebrated her in his composition

dedicated to Pan's flute.


ARTHUR HACKER'S SYRINX

The painter Arthur Hacker painted an image of Syrinx that recalls to a degree the image

I have created above, insofar as Hacker's Syrinx has one arm draped, and the other bare.
