Works..

Myron is a Greek sculptor; an older contemporary of the sculptors Phidias, and Polyclitus. To the ancients he is known as one of the most multipurpose and groundbreaking of all Attic sculptors.Working almost completely in bronze, he is best known for his many studies of athletes in action. Out of his many works, only two sculptures survive the group of Athena and Marsyas and the "Discobolos" (Discus Thrower), both are marble copies made in Roman times.
