Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PELION , a wooded
mountain
  in Thessaly in the
district
  of
Magnesia
 , between
Volo
  and the
east
 
coast
 . Its highest point (mod. Plessidi) is 5340 ft. It is famous in Greek mythology; the giants are said to have piled it on
Ossa
  in order to scale
Olympus
 , the abode of the gods; it was the
home
  of the centaurs, especially of Chiron, who had a cave near its summit, and educated many youthful heroes; the ship " Argo " was built from its pine-woods. On its summit was an altar of Zeus Actaeus, in whose honour an annual festival was held in the dog-days, and worshippers clad themselves in skins.
