[[Nicias]], who liked to flaunt his wealth, made an offering of a bronze palm tree to [[Apollo]] in 417 BCE, during a splendid festival in [[Delos]]. The palm tree, associated with the birth of the god, was often found in shrines dedicated to him. This was because Apollo’s [[Leto|mother]] gave birth to him at the foot of a palm tree, thus rendering it sacred to him. Unfortunately, Nicias’s palm tree had a tragic end. It was decapitated during a storm, and in the process damaged the large statue of Apollo which was nearby.
