The
Diskobolus of Myron is a Greek sculpture that was completed towards the
end of the Severe period, circa 460-450 BC. The original bronze
discus-thrower survives only in marble copies, dating to the Roman
period, one of which is part of the Townley Collection in the British
Museum. Another is in the Museo delle Terme in Rome. This iconic piece
was the work of the Athenian sculptor, Myron, whose main innovation, as
shown here, was the concept of 'rhythmos' in sculpture: the essence of
movement is captured in a moment of stillness.
