     <option value = '@ idPerson'> @ namePerson </ option> 
</ select> 

my controller

ViewBag.namePerson = mod.namePerson;

Why aren't you using?

@Html.DropDownListFor()

By other hand, instead of using ViewBag, you could use

ViewData["namePerson"]
ViewDate["idPerson"]

And get your HTML like this

<select id = 'namePerson' name = 'namePerson'> 
    <option value = @ViewData["idPerson"]>@ViewData["namePerson"]</ option> 
</ select> 

You only need to be sure that you're actually sending data and everything should work.
