Athena sends two giant sea serpents to strangle and kill him and his two sons.
In another version of the story, it was said that Poseidon sent the sea serpents to strangle and kill Laocoön and his two sons.
It was a sign to take the wooden Horse into Troy.
Nothing, but he wanted to burn it.
He said "Beware of greeks Bearing gifts."
Yes, in Greek mythology, the priest Laocoon warned the Trojans about the wooden horse, expressing his suspicion that it was a deceptive gift from the Greeks. He famously declared, "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts." Laocoon's warnings were ultimately ignored, and he was famously punished by the gods, as serpents emerged from the sea to kill him and his sons, further underscoring the tragic fate of Troy.
Laocoon
It was a sign to take the wooden Horse into Troy.
He didn't feel anything; Laocoon was dead before the Trojan Horse went through the walls of Troy, he and his two sons had been killed by sea serpents.
Citheronia laocoon was created in 1777.
Laocoon was a priest of Poseidon, and he broke his vows, either by marrying and having sons, or because he made love to his wife in the divine sanctuary. In either event, his punishment was carried out after he warned the Trojans against accepting the gift of the Greeks.

When Laocoon was preparing to sacrifice a bull to Poseidon, suddenly two fearful serpents were seen swimming towards the Trojan coast from Tenedos. They rushed towards Laocoon, who, while all the people took to flight, remained with his two sons standing by the altar of the god. The serpents first entwined the two boys, and then the father, who went to the assistance of his children, and all three were killed. However, some argue that it was not Poseidon who did this, but Athena or Apollo.
