Mt. Ossa (Greek: Όσσα, alternative Kissavos, Greek: Κίσσαβος) is a mountain (1978 metres altitude) in the district of Larissa in Thessaly, between Pelion and Olympus, from which it is separated by the Vale of Tempe. In Greek mythology, the Aloades are said to have attempted to pile it upon Mount Pelion, in their attempt to scale Olympus. [1]
