a plant which was sacred to Apollo, the god of prophecy, and much used by those who pretended to inspiration. The heads of ancient seers were usually adorned with laurel wreaths, while they carried in their hands a laurel branch as a magic wand. The heads of victors in the national games were also crowned with laurel wreaths; hence the expression, "winning the laurels."
