There was, however, quite a nice poster for the Games, with a classical discobolus and Big Ben, which makes an instructive comparison with the flayed-skin ugliness of the 2012 logo. |
The twelve stars of the European Union are positioned around the design of an ancient statue depicting a discobolus in his attempt to throw the discus. |
It is so with the statue in our illustration called the discobolus or Disk-thrower. |
To celebrate this year's Olympic Games in Athens, the national obverse will be replaced by a discobolus and the five Olympic rings. |
You are strong enough, certainly, but the art of the discobolus must be learned like any other. |
Born in Boeotia, he was active in Athens, and so is accounted an Athenian sculptor. Of his works, the most famous was a Discobolus. |
