Myron

Myron, Greek sculptor, a native of Eleuthereæ, flourished about 450 B.C. He was a fellow-pupil of Phidias, and excelled in modelling athletes, animals, and figures in motion. His most cele- brated works were the 'Discobolos,' 'Ladas the Runner,' 'A Cow,' and 'Athene and the Satyr.' Copies have survived of the first and last only. Myron worked principally in bronze.
