DISCUS THROWER - HISTORY

The Discobolus of Myron ("discus thrower" Greek "Diskobolos") is a famous Roman marble copy of a lost Greek bronze original, the latter of which was completed towards the end of the Severe period, circa 460-450 BC. A discus thrower is depicted about to release his throw. The moment captured in the statue is an example of rhythmos, harmony and balance. Myron is often credited as being the first sculptor to master this style.
