De Corona
Ancient scholar cited for the argument that Bacchus/Osiris is ivy-crowned because ivy protects the brain from heaviness.
Bacchus, the same who among the Egyptians is Osiris, Harpocration argues by industry to be ivy-crowned, because it is the nature of ivy to defend the brain from heaviness.
