TIME MAGAZINE

Q- How did Laocoon and his sons die?

A- He upset Athena, so she sent down serpents that consumed his sons and suffocated him.

Q- Do you believe Priam met his fate?

A-Priam's death was a brutal one but he was the king and was meant to die while Troy was destroyed.

Q-Do you think it was your fate to be the one to find a new land for your people?

A- Yes, because Hector came to me in my dreams and told me to get our people to a new land and start new lives. My wife's ghost also told me the same.

Q- Did you restrain from killing Helen because of a God?

A-Yes my mother, Venus stopped me from killing her.

Q-Could Troy have been saved if people listened to Cassandra?

A-Yes, but because of fate and the curse put on her by a God, no one will ever believe her.

Q- What were the two signs that persuaded your father to leave his home?
A- The two divine signs were the small flame that appeared above my son's head and the crack of thunder outside along with a falling star. These signs were sent by the Gods to save my family and let them live according to their fate.

Q- Where did you see your wife for the last time?

A- I saw my wife's ghost on the shore after we got out of troy.
