The myrtle was sacred to Aphrodite. It was often displayed in her shrines & gardens. She often wore a myrtle wreath or crown. Then comes the question, why was it sacred to her. The only explanation I've seen is because it rhymes with girdle. Aphrodite had a girdle, more like a belt, that made the wearer sexually irresistible. Seems a pretty thin thread to me -- she was also fertile Myrtle.
