A generation before the famous Trojan War, a sea-monster threatened Troy. King Laomedon, father of Priam, exposed his daughter Hesione to the creature in order to avert destruction. Heracles, who happened to be sailing by, made a deal with the king: he’d save the daughter in return for the king’s immortal horses. Heracles valiantly fought the monster and saved Hesione, but Laomedon reneged on the agreement, so Heracles stormed and conquered Troy. This chapter examines the long tradition of the story and several key changes to it across time and media, including the literature of Homer, Ovid, medieval epic, and Shakespeare, vase and wall paintings, sculpture, and opera.
