This is a statue of the only man in Troy who saw the trap. He tried to warn everyone, and this is what the gods did to him because of it...

His name was Laocoön, a Trojan priest. When the Greek army vanished and left a giant wooden horse outside the city gates, all of Troy celebrated. Only Laocoön refused to believe it. He warned his people the horse was a trick and, to prove it was hollow, hurled his spear into its side.

In Virgil's telling, he spoke a line that has outlasted almost everything else about Troy: "I fear the Greeks, even when they bring gifts."

He was right. The horse was packed with soldiers, and Troy was hours from destruction.

This sculpture shows what he got for it. Two enormous sea serpents rise out of the sea and coil around him and his young sons, dragging all three down together. The father's whole body is knotted in the struggle, every muscle straining, his face locked in a scream. The gods wanted Troy to fall, and Laocoön was in the way.

The Trojans watched him die in agony and drew exactly the wrong conclusion: they decided the gods were punishing him for attacking a holy gift. So they pulled the horse inside their own walls, and that night, Troy burned...

The statue is called Laocoön and His Sons. It is the work of three Greek sculptors from the island of Rhodes, Agesander, Athenodoros, and Polydorus, and dates to the Hellenistic period, making it well over two thousand years old.

Buried for more than a thousand years, it was dug out of a Roman vineyard in 1506, and Michelangelo rushed across Rome to see it the day it was found.

It has been called the single greatest depiction of human suffering in the history of art, but it endures because of what it is really about: the man who sees the truth, says it out loud, and is destroyed for being right while the crowd watches...

It is one of the oldest patterns there is, and it has never stopped repeating.

There is nothing new under the sun.

If you’re planning to watch Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, you don’t need to know the entire Greek mythology. Knowing these key points will make the story much easier to follow.

What is Troy?
* Troy was a wealthy ancient city (in modern-day Turkey).
* It was the setting of the legendary Trojan War between the Greeks and the Trojans.
* The war lasted 10 years.
* Why did the Trojan War happen?
* Prince Paris of Troy took (or eloped with) Helen, the wife of Greek king Menelaus.
* The Greek kingdoms united to bring Helen back and attacked Troy.

Who is Odysseus?
* Odysseus is the King of Ithaca.
* He is famous for being extremely intelligent, not the strongest warrior.
* His greatest achievement was creating the Trojan Horse plan.

What is the Trojan Horse?
* The Greeks pretended to sail home, leaving behind a giant wooden horse.
* Trojan soldiers brought it inside the city as a victory trophy.
* Greek soldiers hidden inside came out at night, opened the gates, and Troy fell.

What happens after Troy falls?
* Most Greek kings return home.
* Odysseus’ journey home becomes a nightmare.
* Although Ithaca is relatively close, it takes him 10 years to return because he angers the gods.
* Who is waiting for him?
* His loyal wife, Penelope.
* His son, Telemachus, who grows up without his father.
* Many suitors believe Odysseus is dead and try to marry Penelope to become king.

Why can’t he just sail home?
* The sea god Poseidon becomes furious with Odysseus.
* He sends storms, monsters, and disasters to stop him.

That’s all the background you really need—the film should explain the rest as the story unfolds.

This is absolute madness. I would watch the sheeeeeit out of an X-Men series with this type of dynamic animation. I wonder what guys like Jim Lee and Rob Liefel thought of this.
