Myron, Discobolus (Discus Thrower), Roman copy of an ancient Greek bronze
In fact, there's one next to the other in this museum, a testament to how popular these were among the Romans.발음듣기
His left leg, the toes are bent under, dragging slightly, and he's about to throw that discus.발음듣기
This is a moment of tremendous tension, but it's also this moment stasis, of stillness, right before the action.발음듣기
SPEAKER 2: Athletes and art historians have debated whether this is even an actual pose that the discus thrower takes in the process.발음듣기
SPEAKER 1: It's so interesting, because when we think back about the history of the Greek figure, we think first of the Archaic Kouros, who is so stiff and so stylized.발음듣기
And then we have the tremendous breakthroughs of people like Polykleitos who developed an understanding of the body, and showed in a contrapposto.발음듣기
But here we have something that's so dynamic, and so complex, I mean just look at the arc of the shoulders and the arms, and the way that they reverse the arc of the twist of the hips.발음듣기
SPEAKER 2: That is the overriding concern of Myron, the sculptor, to capture the aesthetic qualities here.발음듣기
SPEAKER 2: If you think about a figure from much later, but in a similar pose of movement, of athletic energy, like Bernini's "David."발음듣기
And it reminds me of the consistency with which the Greeks always maintain their nobility, even in battle, even in terrible situations with monsters.발음듣기
SPEAKER 2: Right, that nobility, that calm in the face, is a sign of a nobility of the human being.발음듣기
Why would you cover up the beauty of the body in sport, which is, of course, a celebration of what the human body can achieve.발음듣기
This is really a way to remind ourselves of the Greeks concern with the potential of humanity, the potential of the mind, and the potential of the body.발음듣기
SPEAKER 2: Taking that extra step to become even more ideal, more heroic, more noble, than even the finest athlete.발음듣기
