Why was 'Discobolus' made?

For the same reason why any work of art was made before 1600: because somebody commissioned it. and plus .....he felt like sculpting something and that was the first thing that popped into his mind. I find the above answer extremely vague. The real answer is that nobody knows. It was just his job to make sculptures because he got paid to do it. It was discovered while excavating and it had lost it's head, so any sculptures of this are fake-a mismatched head! :)

How did the Olympics affect ancient Greek art?

It meant pretty much the same to the Ancient Greeks as it does to us today- some of it was symbolic, some of it had religious significance, some of it was a form of self-expression, some of it created for sheer beauty, and also to make the observer consider it's impact upon them; how it made them feel, what questions it posed to their conceptions of other matters, whether it had a deeper meaning and was trying to convey something beyond it's meagre appearance, whether it raised any questions or provoked any thoughts within the viewer etc. etc. A lot of Ancient Greek art was of religious intent and meant to convey spiritual or metaphysical imagery, but by no means all of it.
