- Hint: One of them blew the whistle on the Trojan Horse
Most everyone has heard the legend of the fall of Troy, and of the Greeks' clever plan to conceal their soldiers within a "gift horse."
But not everyone has heard of the one Trojan who wasn't fooled - a whistleblower who did his best to warn his fellow Trojans of the danger. His name is Laocoon.
Even though his fellow Trojans failed to heed his warning, one might expect a statue of Laocoon to depict him as a wise man, or at least an independent minded one. But no. Laocoon is depicted at the moment he and his two sons are about to be killed by snakes.
Why is Laocoon sculpted this way?
And who was the sculptor?
