The Trojan priest Laocoön and his two sons are crushed and bitten by sea serpents after he warned against the wooden horse. Dug up in Rome in 1506, the group is very likely the one Pliny praised and credited to three Rhodian sculptors: Agesander, Athenodoros and Polydorus. Whether it is an original or a copy of an earlier bronze is still argued.

Laocoön's knotted brow is so extreme that the physiologist Duchenne called it physically impossible. Pliny said the group was carved from one block; it is actually at least seven pieces.
