Five textual fragments (plus an indirect reference and an isolated word) of Sophocles' Laocoon are preserved from indirect tradition. In this volume, after a reconstruction of the mythographic variants on the story of the Trojan priest, all the fragments are presented in original text and in translation, with critical apparatus and philological commentary. The volume aims to reconstruct the dramaturgy of the Sophoclean drama, ordering the surviving fragments in a sequence that follows the possible succession of the scenes of the tragedy. To complement the textual fragments, two vascular fragments, one preserved in the Jatta Museum at Ruvo di Puglia, the other in Berlin, provide the possibility of reconstructing a further, possible scene of the drama not attested by literary tradition.
