This bronze statue is one of several copies of a lost bronze original of the fifth century BC which was

attributed to the sculptor Myron (flourished about 470-440 BC).

The popularity of the sculpture in antiquity was no doubt due to its representation of the athletic ideal.

Discus-throwing was the first element in the pentathlon, and while pentathletes were in some ways

considered inferior to those athletes who excelled at a particular sport, their physical appearance

was much admired.This was because no one particular set of muscles was over-developed,

with the result that their proportions were harmonious.

A number of ancient discuses of either marble or metal, and of various weights, survive.

Little is known of the distances achieved in antiquity, though an epigram celebrating a throw

of 30 metres (95 feet) comes as a surprise in the modern world,

where the current world record is just over 70 metres.

However, the ancient technique of discus-throwing may have been rather different:

there is no representational evidence for anything more than a three-quarter turn,

rather than the two and a half turns used today, and this may be one factor making

a direct comparison difficult.
