In Ancient [[Greece]], wreaths were not only made of laurel but of different kinds of plants and trees, each one with a specific purpose. For example, wreaths of vine, ivy or roses were associated with [[Dionysos|Dionysus]] and [[Aphrodite]], and were used during symposiums, the traditional banquets. Olive wreaths were the prize for the winners of the [[Olympic Games]] while laurel celebrated the winner of {{Wiki|Pythic Games}} in [[Delphi]]. Considered [[Apollo]]’s sacred tree, the laurel was a reminder of the god’s first love. Cursed by [[Eros]], Apollo chased the nymph {{Wiki|Daphne}} against her wishes. The desperate nymph asked for help from her {{Wiki|Peneus|father}}, a river god, who saved her by transforming her into a laurel tree. The disappointed Apollo then developed a special reverence for the laurel tree.
