The symbol of the laurel can be traced back to Greek mythology, commonly seen on the head of the Olympian Apollo. In ancient times, laurel wreaths were worn on the heads of Olympic victors and Roman conquerors.
The meaning of the laurel, victory, has persisted to this day - one of the ways we still celebrate the laurel is through the Nobel prize, awarded to Nobel laureates.
