Jason of Nysa

Jason of Nysa

Jason ( _el. Ἰάσων) 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. He therefore flourished after the middle of the 1st century BC. The Suda lists four works of his:
*Βίοι ἐνδόξων - "Famous Lives"
*Φιλοσόφων διαδοχαί - "Successions of the 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 the fourth book is also assigned to Jason of Argos.
