Artwork Description:

The Discobolus or “discus thrower” is one of the most iconic artworks of classical antiquity. Originally sculpted in bronze by an Athenian man called Myron born in the fortress-city of Eleutherae in the 5th century BC , the statue has gained fame largely through its many bronze and marble copies made by the Romans. The sculpture was well-known in the ancient world. The Roman rhetorician and satirist Lucian of Samosata c. AD 125 – c. AD 180 mentioned Myron in a work called Philopseudes.
