Apollo then crafted himself a wreath out of the laurel branches and turned Daphne into a cultural symbol for him and other poets and musicians.[3] The medieval Florentine poet and philosopher Dante Alighieri, a member of the Sicilian School,[4][failed verification] is often represented in paintings and sculpture wearing a laurel wreath. In Sweden, those receiving a doctorate or an honorary doctorate at the Faculty of Philosophy (meaning philosophy, languages, arts, history and social sciences), receive a laurel wreath during the ceremony of conferral of the degree.[citation needed] Media related to Laurel in heraldry at Wikimedia Commons Laurel wreaths are sometimes used in heraldry.
