In ancient Greece, the heads of the winners were decorated with a wreath of what tree? And which branch was handed over?

Ancient Greece is the birthplace of many modern sports games. The Olympic Games are especially popular (although in Ancient Greece there were much more of them – the Pythian and others). The main awards for the athletes were: an olive wreath (collected from a tree near the Temple of Zeus) on the head and a palm branch in the hands (distinctive signs of the gods Apollo and Dionysius). These gifts were symbols of victory.
