in ancient geography, the name of a wooded mountain range in Thessaly, extending along the E. coast.
Its E. side descends in steep and rugged precipices to the sea. Further to the N., near the mouth of the Peneus, is the steep conical peaks of Ossa, which according to the classic myth, the Titans placed on the summit of Pelion in order to scale Olympus, the abode of the gods.
