The statue of the discus thrower in Milandas is one of the most famous sculptures in ancient Greece, known as the Discobolus (discus thrower). This statue depicts the movements and postures of a discus thrower before throwing, and is considered one of the most dynamic and naturally flowing works of ancient sculpture. The original Discobolus statue was created by the ancient Greek sculptor Milandas (Myron) in the 5th century BC. However, the original statue has been lost, and what exists are later replicas or works inspired by it.
