5.Describe the sculpture.What does it represent (any

mythological reference)?
Discobolus is completely nude.His pose is to be unnatural
to a human, and today considered a rather inefficient way to
throw the discus.Also there is very little emotion shown in
the discus tower's face, and to a modern eye; it many seem
that Myron's desire for perfection has made him suppres too
rigorously the sense of train.
