Hagesandros, Athenodoros, and Polydoros of Rhodes, Laocoön and his Sons, 175-150 BCE
This example of Hellenstic Greek sculpture depicts the story of the Trojan priest Laocoön and his sons as they are being consumed by serpents. Hellensitic style differs from the earlier Classical style because it is more dramatic and realistic.
