Myrōn (English spelling)

Japanese: ミュロン（英語表記）Myrōn

A Greek sculptor active between 480 and 450 BCE. He was born in Eleutherae, northwest of Attica, and is said to have been a pupil of the Argos sculptor Ageladas. He specialized in bronze sculpture, and skillfully expressed the momentary stillness of the body, full of tension caused by intense exercise. He is considered a pioneer of classical art, and copies of his works such as "Discobolos (Discus)" (National Gallery of Rome) and "Athena and Marsyas" (Laterano Museum, Rome) remain to this day, but no copies of his animal figures, such as "The Golden Bull," which are praised as masterpieces in ancient documents, remain.

前 480～450年頃活躍したギリシアの彫刻家。アッチカ北西のエレウテライ出身。アルゴスの彫刻家アゲラダスの弟子と伝えられる。青銅彫刻を専門とし，激しい運動による肉体の緊張に満ちた一瞬の静止状態を巧みに表現した。古典主義美術の開拓者とされ，『ディスコボロス (円盤投げ) 』 (ローマ国立美術館) と『アテナとマルシアス』 (ローマ，ラテラノ美術館) などの模刻が今日に伝えられているが，古代の文献に傑作とたたえられる『黄金の牝牛像』などの動物像は模刻も現存しない。
