The creation of sculptures of Ancient Greece is definitely one of the most
             influential artistic movements of any ancient culture. Even though Greece itself
             was influenced visibly in the beginning by strong trade routes, especially with Persia
             to the East and Egypt to the south, they quickly gathered these methods and
             characteristics of the older civilizations and created within a few thousand
             years a lasting inspiration that fueled many other advances in culture and art.
             The Romans most notably copied Greek sculpture's perfect forms from the Classical
             and Hellenistic ages and it's through their assimilation of the Greek culture that

             The sculptural standard that the ancient Greeks created has carried itself into this modern
             day, changing its form and meaning to meet the demands of new civilized and past part cultures.
             We see this in our park sculptures, our increasing image bytes and even the new styles of
             abstractions in modern art. The style of this form, especially the human form, had its strongest
             foundation stones laid down by the sculptures of ancient Greece.
             One of the celebrated works of the fifth century that we can define as the classical style is
             the famous "Disk Thrower" statue by Myron. Almost all of the famous classical and Hellenistic
             statues that survive today are marble Roman copies from the original bronze sculptures. Myron's
             Disk-Thrower (Discobolos) is no exception. It was so famous in ancient Greece and Italy that
             many copies were and have been made over the ages. Myron achieved the fame of this statue by
             representing a frozen moment in time through the twisting balanced movement, and in a way he
             completed the realism and the plun...
