Flower wreaths are also part of the culture and legends of indigenous peoples of the Americas.
Ancient Greece
The wreath is associated with Greek attire and celebrations since ancient times, continuing a tradition to the modern day Olympic ceremonies. Ancient coinage minted by early Greek city-states often depicted a goddess or other figure with a wreath. For example, on certain early coins of ancient Kydonia, Crete, the goddess Britomartis was struck wearing a wreath of grapevines.
