The Greeks have a pretty story of Apollo and Daphne which explains the sacredness of the laurel- tree and the wreath of laurel which Apollo wears.
THEE AND S THE AM MYTHS. 31 Daphne was a beautiful nymph, daughter of a river god. Apollo saw her, ami wished to take her to his home. But Daphne wanted to stay near the stream where her father lived, and in the woods where Diana hunted, so she ran from Apollo, who pursued her. She would not stop to hear him say he was a god, but ran until her streng...th was ex- hausted, when she called upon her father to save her ; and just as Apollo was about to overtake her, she was changed into a laurel- tree, and the god of music kissed the tree and said : " Thou shalt be my tree. I will wear thee for my crown, and with thee will adorn my harp. Thou shalt be woven into wreaths for the brows of conquerors, and thy leaf shall know no decay. " People used to think that the great Jupiter spoke to them in the rustling of the oak leaves. Our own beautiful birch-trees were called the white ladies of the forest by the poet Longfellow.
