Laurel Wreath Ring
In ancient Greece, the wreath of Laurel leaves was a symbol dedicated to Apollo, and later adopted by Romans as a symbol of triumph and achievement.
Apollo fell in love with Daphne, a nymph who didn’t feel the same way about him, so she then transformed into a laurel tree as an escape. Apollo used the laurel leaves from the tree and wore it as a crown.
The ancient Pythian Games were held in honor of Apollo as the god of music, poetry, and sports. Winners were crowned with a laurel wreath. Apollo is the god of poets and writers, and the term poet laureate that we use today comes from this myth.
