## Bio

Myron was born around 485 BC in Eleutherae, a town on the border of Boeotia and Attica, and trained under Ageladas of Argos. Working in Athens during the classical period's peak, he became one of four sculptors — alongside Polykleitos, Pheidias, and Praxiteles — who defined the era's approach to the human form in bronze and stone. None of his original works survive. What remains are Roman copies, marble stand-ins for lost bronzes, the most famous being the Discobolus: the discus thrower caught in coiled motion. He died around 440 BC, his reputation preserved entirely through replicas made centuries after his hand stopped working.
