Description:
(Athenian Sculptor)
Myron was an Athenian sculptor from the mid-5th century BC. He was born in Eleutherae on the borders of Boeotia and Attica. Ageladas of Argos was his teacher. While none of his original sculptures have survived, numerous copies in marble, mostly Roman, are believed to exist. Myron made significant contributions to ancient Greek sculpture, particularly in depicting human anatomy and movement.
