Grames Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 The banner of Leonard Peikoff's website has an image of a greek word DISKOBOGOS which appears to be on the base of a small metal sculpture of a discus thrower. Anybody have a clue what it means? "Study of a discus thrower"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody have a clue what it means? "Study of a discus thrower"? According to google, it's not a word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) It's the Discus thrower as referenced here. http://www.marbleclassics.com/greek-discus-thrower.htm different statue, same word.
