Because I like hunting, I often go through the forest.
One day, I was hunting in the forest and Apollo, the sun god, appeared.
Because of Cupid's teasing, Apollo fell in love with me deeply and broke into my world.
And I firmly believe that it will always be pure and perfect, even if Apollo's beauty and wonderful flute sound are unmoved,
I don't love Apollo, I can only run away.
So a chase game began. On the verge of being overtaken by Apollo, I fled to the river.
I called for help from my father, the river god, and my father turned me into a laurel tree.
When Apollo caught up with me, I had become an elegant laurel by the river.
Apollo gave laurel a gentle hug, apologized and said sadly to me:
"I'm beautiful and lovely! You will be my tree,
My victory will be your future patent,
I will weave a crown of victory with your branches, make a harp with your branches, and decorate bows and arrows with your flowers.
Let you stay young forever without worrying about aging. Will you be with those who win? "
Therefore, laurel has become a symbol of victory in the Olympic Games.
