The Discobolus of
Myron ("discus thrower"), is a Greek sculpture completed at the start of the Classical period at around 460–450 BC. The sculpture depicts a youthful male athlete throwing a discus. The original Greek bronze is lost but the work is known through numerous Roman copies, both full-scale ones in marble, which was cheaper than bronze and smaller scaled versions in bronze. The moment thus captured in the statue is an example of rhythms, harmony and balance. The other trademark of Myron embodied in this sculpture is how well the body is proportioned, the symmetry. Myron is often credited with being the first sculptor to master this style. The energy expressed in this sculptures tightly wound pose, expressing the moment of stasis just before the release, is an example of the advancement of Classical sculpture from Archaic.
