Object depicted as being thrown in Athenian sculptor Myron's best known work (6)

I believe the answer is:

discus

(Other definitions for discus that I've seen before include "Sports projectile" , "Item thrown in sport" , "Olympic field event" , "Sporting missile" , "Object thrown in field sports" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
