"The Discobolus of Myron ("discus thrower", Greek: Δισκοβόλος, Diskobólos) is a Greek sculpture completed at the start of the Classical Period, figuring a youthful ancient Greek athlete throwing discus, about 460–450 BC." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discobolus



- Vieux bronze, "Le Discobole est l’une des plus célèbres statues de l’Antiquité. Généralement attribuée à Myron, sculpteur athénien du Vᵉ siècle av. J.-C., elle représente un athlète en train de lancer le disque. Myron, représentant du premier classicisme, était célèbre pour ses représentations d'athlètes, ce qui explique l’attribution. De plus, cette œuvre est mentionnée par Pline l'Ancien dans son Histoire naturelle, où l'auteur livre la liste des œuvres réalisées par Myron." - https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discobole
