Where does our name come from? |

People sometimes ask us, "What does Syrinx mean?” In classical mythology,
Syrinx was a river nymph who was pursued by the Greek god Pan. To escape his
advances, she ran to the river's edge and was transformed into hollow water
reeds.
The reed is the classic symbol of resilience in the face of change. It is also
the basis for the Aesop’s fable, “The Oak Tree and the Reed”:
A reed got into an argument with an oak tree. The oak tree boasted that her
strength could withstand a battle against the winds, while she condemned the
reed for being weak, yielding to every breeze. Then the wind began to blow very
fiercely. The oak tree was torn up by her roots and toppled over, while the
reed was left bent but unharmed.
The moral: Those who adapt to the times will
emerge unscathed.
We believe that the only constant in the business world is
change. That’s why reeds are featured in our logo, along with a swath of motion
symbolizing change. Syrinx strives to build systems that are resilient to
change, and allow our customers to grow and adapt as they need to. We aim to
keep abreast of the ever changing technology landscape, always looking to
improve our efficiency, portability, re-usability, and time to market.
