Through Apollo and the emperors, Tiberias 

 and Augustus, the legends of laurel are dra- 

 matic. The use of same was forbidden to 

 ;f:rofane services ; even today many count it 

 a good omen to decorate homes for Christmas. 

 Farmers persist in exterminating laurel as 

 poisonous to sheep. Others ruin many fine 

 groves hunting for the knotty roots to make 

 pipes and souveniers.
