Question

Which best describes the conflict and resolution between Laocoön and the Trojans?

Answer 1

The conflict between Laocoon and the Trojans was that when the Trojans saw the Greek ships leaving, they thought the war was over.  When they saw the wooden horse, they thought it was a gift and wanted to bring it inside Troy.  Laocoon objected thinking it was a trick but the Trojans disregarded his warning.  Laocoon insisted but Athena had two serpents from the sea attack him and this enabled the Greeks to sneak in and conquer Troy.
