Discobolus, Ancient Greek statue replica at Harvard Law School, Cambridge, US.
The marble statue displays an athlete frozen in motion, capturing the exact moment before releasing a discus with perfect anatomical precision.
Created by sculptor Myron around 450 BC in bronze, this Roman marble copy represents one of several reproductions made during the classical period.
The statue embodies Greek athletic traditions and artistic mastery through its balanced composition and representation of physical movement in static form.
Located within the Harvard Law School grounds, the statue stands as a permanent outdoor exhibit accessible to students and visitors throughout the year.
The statue demonstrates the mathematical precision of ancient Greek proportions through the calculated angle of limbs and the controlled twist of the body.
