Description
Laocoon was a priest in the city of Troy. He and his sons were devoured by snakes when bathing, which the Trojans took as a sign that Laocoon was being punished for warning the king not to bring the Trojan horse into the city. If only they'd listened...
The sculpture in the Vatican shows the sea serpents as being quite puny. I thought it would be more fun to imagine what would happen if they were attacked by the prehistoric Titan Boa, which reached a length of 50ft and used to eat crocodiles whole. The snakes ARE to scale!
Hope you enjoy my imagining.

This image has a historic background which is really amazing and it is nice to know about Laocoon- a city of troy. I work on a cheap reliable essay writing service where I read many stories on troy and most of them have a good lesson to learn as well as imply in the real life. Looking forward to watching similar type images in the near future.
