Why did laocoon throw a spear at the wooden horse

Laocoon threw the spear at the wooden horse when Trojans refused to believe him that the wooden horse was a trickery from Greeks.

Explanation:

Aeneid is a masterpiece of Virgil, that tells the tale of Aeneas.

In book 2, of the epic, the death of Trojan Priest Laocoo is mentioned. The book begins by unfolding the trickery that the Greeks were planning on Trojans by sending the wooden horse as a gift of peace. Since, they had a war between them for ten years, Trojans agreed to accept the gift as they wanted peace. But it was Laocoon, who suspects the reason of sending the wooden horse.

Laocoon tried to convince the Trojans that they do not accept the wooden horse, but they refused to listen to him. In his anger and rage, Laocoon threw his spear at the wooden horse, only to reveal that it was hollow from  inside.
