Mikkel’s Attic Painting Includes “Laocoön and His Sons,” the Renowned Sculpture
The sculpture “Laocoön and His Sons” holds subtle but profound significance. It features prominently in Mikkel’s painting and arises in the dialogue between Jonas and Martha in the season two finale. This artwork depicts the tragic tale of the Trojan priest Laocoön and his sons, strangled by serpents sent by the gods as punishment for his cautionary plea against admitting the Greek wooden horse into Troy.
Symbolizing suffering, tragedy, intergenerational bonds, and the inescapable cycle of destiny, it mirrors central themes within “Dark,” which delves into the ramifications of time travel and the far-reaching consequences of our actions. The sculpture subtly explores themes of tragedy, fate, and time travel.
