The famous statue known as "Discobolus," representing a discus thrower, is traditionally associated with marble, though it was originally created in bronze by the sculptor Myron in ancient Greece. Many Roman copies of the statue were made in marble, which is why it is often depicted in that material today. The original bronze version has not survived, but the marble replicas have contributed to its enduring legacy in art history.
