The Discophoros, also spelled Discophorus, ( Greek-" Discus-Bearer ") was a bronze sculpture by the classical Greek sculptor Polyclitus, creator of the Doryphoros and Diadumenos, and its many Roman marble copies.

The Diadumenos (" diadem-bearer "), together with the Doryphoros and Discophoros, are the three most famous figural types of the sculptor Polyclitus, forming three basic patterns of Ancient Greek sculpture that all present strictly idealised representations of young male athletes in a convincingly naturalistic manner.

Polykleitos ' Doryphoros ( Spear-Bearer ), an early example of classical contrapposto.

Some time in the 2nd century AD, Galen wrote about the Doryphoros as the perfect visual expression of the Greeks ' search for harmony and beauty, which is rendered in the perfectly proportioned sculpted male nude:

For modern eyes, a fragmentary Doryphoros torso in basalt in the Medici collection at the Uffizi " conveys the effect of bronze, and is executed with unusual care ", as Kenneth Clark noted, illustrating it in The Nude: A Study in Ideal Form: " It preserves some of the urgency and concentration of the original " lost in the full-size " blockish " marble copies.

The canonic proportions of the male torso established by Polykleitos ossified in Hellenistic and Roman times in the heroic cuirass exemplified by the Augustus of Prima Porta, who wears ceremonial dress armor modelled in relief over an idealized muscular torso which is ostensibly modelled on the Doryphoros.

This period is one of discovery of the expressive possibilities of the human body ; there is a greater freedom in the poses and gestures, and an increased attention to anatomical verisimilitude as may be observed in the ponderated stances of the figures W9 and W4 who partially anticipate the Doryphoros of Polykleitos.

* Polykleitos starts making the bronze statue Achilles ( also known as The Spear Bearer or Doryphoros ), which he finishes about ten years later.

He also sculpted a famous bronze male nude known as the Doryphoros (" Spear-carrier "), which survives in the form of numerous Roman marble copies.
