In the Aeneid how is the death of Laocoon interpreted?
Laocoon begs the other Trojans to see the wooden horse as an enemy to the Trojans, asking them if wily Ulysses (Odysseus) would really just leave their shores without an attempt to sack the city. Sinon, a member of the Greeks recently captured in Trojan hands claims the horse is really a monument to Minerva. When Laocoon throws his spear at the wooden horse, he therefore is interpreted as "angering" Minerva, who then sends twin serpents to kill Laocoon's two sons and finally himself. The rest of the Trojans, not wanting to anger Minerva, drag the horse into their city, sealing their fate and allowing the city to be sacked that same mnight.
