This Brain cramp brought to you by this month's issue of Smithsonian.

This month's Smithsonian includes an article on baroque sculptor Gianlorenzo Bernini and the first glossy photo was of his Apollo and Daphne. There she is, turning into a laurel tree to escape a rapist.

A laurel tree.

A. Laurel. Tree. 

Horny Bastard God Apollo decides the thing to do is to break her FINGERS, because, hey, she's just successfully petitioned for divine intervention and turned into a tree,  and make a wreath out of them. To wear on his Horny Bastard, Nymph Raping head. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the symbol of victory and achievement.

How weird.

Yeah, well, who ever said the SCA (or anyplace else) should make sense.
