What is the correct spelling of the name "Ιάσων", in ancient and modern Greek?  Is the last vowel **ο** or **ω**?



"ο Ιάσων" with ο or ω ?

This is the conjugation of the name **Ιάσων** in ancient Greek:

ὁ Ἰάσων

τοῦ Ἰάσονος

τῷ Ἰάσονι

τόν Ἰάσονα

(ὦ) Ἰάσον

 

Conjugation in modern Greek:

ο Ιάσονας /ο Ιάσων (ancient)

του Ιάσονα /του Ιάσονος (ancient)

τον Ιάσονα

Ιάσονα /Ιάσον (ancient)

 

Therefore in modern Greek the correct nominative form is **Ιάσων** or **Ιάσονας**, however the vocative form is **Ιάσον** or **Ιάσονα**.

Example:

**Ο Ιάσων** είναι φίλος μου. (nomonative)

or

**Ο Ιάσονας** είναι φίλος μου. (nomonative)

but:

**Ιάσον**, έλα εδω! (vocative)

or

**Ιάσονα** έλα εδώ! (vocative)
