Greek A mountain in the north of Thessaly,
connected with Mount Ossa on the northwest.
In Greek mythology, the giant brothers Ephialtes
and Otus, known as the Aloeids, "piled Pelion upon
Ossa" in an attempt to reach the heavens (Olympus).
The phrase has come to mean adding difficulty upon
difficulty. Mount Pelion was the home of Chiron, the
gentle Centaur.
