This image dates to 1897 and is a copy of a statue of Laocoon and his sons. According 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.
