In Greek mythology Iasion (Ancient Greek: Ἰασίων gen.: Ἰασίωνος) or Iasus (Ἴασος gen.: Ἰάσου) or Eetion (Ἠετίων) was usually the son of the nymph Electra and Zeus and brother of Dardanus although other possible parentage included Zeus and Hemera or Corythus and Electra. Iasion founded the mystic rites on the island of Samothrace. With Demeter he was the father of twin sons named Ploutos and Philomelus and another son named Korybas.
