Definition
A person who throws a discus; specifically, the title of a famous ancient Greek bronze sculpture depicting an athlete in mid-throw.
Etymology
From Greek diskoboros, from diskos (discus, a round throwing object) + ballein (to throw). The statue was created by the ancient Greek sculptor Myron around 450 BCE.
Kelly Says
The Discobolus represents one of humanity's greatest achievements in art—it captures a moment of pure athletic tension and grace, and it's been copied, referenced, and parodied for over 2,000 years because it's just that perfect.
