Myron's "Discobolus", also known as the "Discus Thrower", is a renowned piece from the classic Greek art period. It was originally crafted by the Greek sculptor Myron around 450 BCE. This sculpture represents an athlete in the moment of throwing a discus, capturing a perfect balance of movement and calmness typical of Greek art.
The original sculpture by Myron was created in bronze.
