Acording to Greek mythology, Laocoon warned the Trojans about bringing the wooden horse fashioned by the Greeks into Troy. To quiet his protests, a god who favored the Greeks (some say Athena, others Poseidon, others Zeus) sent to sea serpents to kill him - and with him, his sons. This marble statue, now in the Vatican Museum, dates to before A.D. 79. According to Pliny the Elder, it was fashioned by the Rhodes sculptors Hagesandros, Athanodoros, and Polydoros. It was uncovered on Rome's Esquiline Hill in 1506.
