	Zeus
		Zeus, the youngest son of Cronus and Rhea, he was the supreme ruler of Mount Olympus and of the Pantheon of gods who resided there.
		The latter tried to gain access to the heavens by stacking Mount Ossa on top of Mount Olympus, and Mount Pelion on top of Mount Ossa, but the twins still failed in their attempt to overthrow Zeus.
		Zeus also used his charm and unprecedented power to seduce those he wanted, so when Zeus promised Semele that he would reveal himself in all his splendor, in order to seduce her, the union produced Dionysus, but she was destroyed when Zeus appeared as thunder and lightening.

		At most Mount Athos monasteries, the monks eat only twice a day and most of their time away from work and meals is spent in prayer.
		Apparently, the community at Mount Athos believes that isolation and an ascetic lifestyle are best preserved by simply forbidding women and limiting the number of visitors.
		Unfortunately, it was forbidden to photograph most of the exhibits, but we did manage a snapshot of a finely crafted bell that used to call the monks to prayer at one of the monasteries.

		Other peaks, such as Mount Oakleigh (4,547 feet), Tasmania's highest Mount Ossa (5,305 feet) and Barn Bluff (5,114 feet), are all tantalizingly close enough to bag en route while leaving your 30 pound-plus rucksack at the side of the trail.
		But it is Mount Ossa, two hours farther along the track, that is the trophy climb — a narrow path winding its way between sheer slabs of rock hundreds of feet high, to give a view over the entire island on a clear day.
		From Ossa, it is pretty much downhill all the way, with Kia Ora, Du Cane and Windy Ridge huts offering shelter on the final days of the trek.

	ALOADAE - Giants of Thessaly, Greek mythology, pictures, Otus & Ephialtes - ALOADAE
		THE ALOADAI (or Aloadae) were twin giants who attempted to storm the home of the gods by piling three mountains, Olympos, Ossa and Pelion, one on top of the other.
		So they set Mount Ossa on top of Mount Olympos, and then placed Mount Pelion on top of Ossa, threatening by means of these mountains to climb up to the sky; and they also said that they would dam up the sea with mountains and make it dry, and make the dry land a sea.
		They began this way: they placed Mount Ossa on Pelion (from this Mount Ossa is also called Pelion), and were piling up other mountains.
