Jason of Nysa

Jason (Greek: Ἰάσων, Iason; 1st-century BC) of Nysa, a Stoic philosopher, son of Menecrates, and, on his mother's side, grandson of Posidonius, of whom also he was the disciple and successor at the Stoic school at Rhodes.^[1] He therefore flourished after the middle of the 1st century BC. The Suda lists four works of his:^[1]

• Βίοι ἐνδόξων - Famous Lives
• Φιλοσόφων διαδοχαί - Successions of Philosophers
• Βίος Ἑλλάδος - Life of Greece, in 4 books
• Περὶ Ῥόδου - On Rhodes

However, the Suda expresses doubt about whether the third book is his, and also credits Jason of Argos as having written a Life of Greece in 4 books.^[2]
