Daphne, in Greek mythology, was a nymph, the daughter of the river Pinios, whom her father transformed into the famous bush, to escape the love of Apollo. Apollo, as soon as he learned what had happened, cut a few branches from the plant and wove, in memory of the nymph, a laurel wreath.
In ancient Greece, laurel had a special meaning, as it mainly expressed the respect and reward of the effort. In many competitions and events, laurel wreaths were used to crown the athletes.
