Myson of Chenae (/ˈmaɪsən, ˈmaɪsɒn/; Ancient Greek: Μύσων ὁ Χηνεύς; fl.
He is not to be confused with the Myson of 5th-century Athens who ran a pottery and inspired, and taught, many of the Mannerists including the Pan Painter.
According to Sosicrates, who quoted Hermippus, Myson was the son of Strymon, a tyrant of his country.
[1] All sources agree that Myson was a plain farmer, though they differ as to his place of birth and residence.
[1] In his Protagoras, Plato lists Myson of Chen as one of the Seven Sages of Greece, instead of Periander, who was claimed as one by Stobaeus, citing Demetrius of Phaleron as his authority.
