The\u00a0Discobolus\u00a0of\u00a0Myron\u00a0(“discus thrower<\/a>“,\u00a0Greek<\/a>:\u00a0\u0394\u03b9\u03c3\u03ba\u03bf\u03b2\u03cc\u03bb\u03bf\u03c2<\/span>,\u00a0Diskob\u00f3los) is a Greek\u00a0sculpture<\/a> .\u00a0 Completed at the start of the Classical period, figuring a youthful athlete throwing discus, about 460\u2013450 BC. 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.\u00a0 Such as the first to be recovered, the\u00a0Palombara Discobolus, and smaller scaled versions in bronze.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

THE MOMENT<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

A discus thrower depicted is about to release his throw.\u00a0 Myron has created the enduring pattern of athletic energy. He has taken a moment of action so transitory . That students of athletics still debate if it is feasible, and he has given it\u00a0 completeness . The moment thus captured in the statue is an example of rhythmos, harmony and balance. Myron is often credited with being the first sculptor to master this style. Naturally, as always in Greek athletics, the\u00a0Discobolus\u00a0is completely nude.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

His pose is said to be unnatural to a human, and today considered a rather inefficient way to throw the discus.<\/sup> There is very little emotion shown in the discus thrower’s face, and “to a modern eye.\u00a0 It may seem that Myron’s desire for perfection has made him suppress too rigorously the sense of strain in the individual muscles,” Clark observes. <\/sup>The other trademark of Myron embodied in this sculpture is how well the body is proportioned, the\u00a0symmetria.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The potential energy expressed in this sculpture’s tightly wound pose, expressing the moment of stasis just before the release, is an example of the advancement of Classical sculpture from\u00a0Archaic. The torso shows no muscular strain, however, even though the limbs are outflung.Prior to this statue’s discovery, the term\u00a0Discobolus\u00a0had been applied in the 17th and 18th centuries to a standing figure holding a discus,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
