Viruses are often called ‘Trojan horses’, in reference to Homer's Iliad. Laocoon, a Trojan priest, warned the Trojans not to take the horse into the city, as he prophesied soldiers were hiding inside; he and his two sons were subsequently attacked by sea-snakes. The Laocoon group statue, capturing this dramatic moment, resembles a coacervate complex; the male figures metaphorically representing the lanthanide complexes with the bis-DPA ligands, whilst the snakes represent the polymer chains. The lanthanide complexes reveal the formation of the nanorods through their luminescence; so they allow one to ‘look inside the virus nanorod/trojan horse’, hence are coined: LAnthanide Oligopeptide COacervate Orchestrated Nanorods. More information can be found in the Communication by A.  Hernandez-Garcia and J. Wang et al. on page 239 ff.
