Jason of Nysa

Jason (Greek: Ἰάσων, Jason, 1st century BC) of Nysa was a stoic philosopher.

He is known only by an entry in the Suda. Thus, he was the son of a Menecrates and maternal grandson of Posidonius, whose pupil he was and whom he followed to Rhodes in the line of the Stoic school also. He therefore looked after the middle of the 1st century BC

The Suda mentions four of his works:

• Βίοι ἐνδόξων - Famous Life
• Φιλοσόφων διαδοχαί - Successor to the philosophers
• Βίος Ἑλλάδος - The Life of Greece, in four books
• Περὶ Ῥόδου - About Rhodes

The Suda expresses doubts as to whether the third plant is really from him. However, Felix Jacoby refused identification with the four-volume work Περὶ τῆς ἑλλάδος one Jason of Argos.
