Pelion

(τὸ Πήλιον ὄρος), more rarely Pelios (Πήλιος). A lofty range of mountains in Thessaly, in the district of Magnesia, situated between the lake Boebeïs and the Pagasaean Gulf. Its sides were covered with wood, and on its summit was a temple of Zeus Actaeus. Mount Pelion was celebrated in mythology. Near its summit was the cave of the Centaur Chiron. The Giants, in their war with the gods, are said to have attempted to heap Ossa and Olympus on Pelion, or Pelion and Ossa on Olympus, in order to scale heaven. (See Gigantes.) On Pelion the timber was felled with which the ship Argo was built. See Argonautae.
