Laocoon and His Sons sculpture is a group of marble sculptures collectively created by the sculptor Agsandros of Rhodes in ancient Greece in the middle of the first century BC and his sons Polydoros and Athenodoros. The sculpture is about 184 cm high and is now in the Vatican Gallery in Vatican City.
The content of the sculpture is based on the story of the Battle of Troy in Greek mythology. Because Laocoon warned the Trojans not to drag the wooden horse into Troy, he was bitten to death by a giant snake sent by the Greek protector. The tragic conflict between them endows it with eternal value beyond time and space.
