Jason of Nysa

Jason of Nysa (, Iásōn ho Nysaeús / Iason o Nysaevs; 1st-century BC) was a Stoic philosopher, the son of Menecrates, and, on his mother's side, grandson of Posidonius, of whom he was also the disciple and successor at the Stoic school at Rhodes.Suda, Jason ι 52 He therefore flourished after the middle of the 1st century BC. The Suda lists four works of his: Βίοι Ἐνδόξων Bíoi Endóxōn / Vii Endoxon – Famous Lives Φιλοσόφων Διαδοχαί Philosóphōn Diadochaí / Filosofon Diadoche – Successions of Philosophers Βίος Ἑλλάδος Bíos Helládos / Vios Ellados – Life of Greece, in 4 books Περὶ Ῥόδου Perì Rhódou / Peri Rodou – 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.Suda, Jason ι 53
