To pile Pelion on ____ is to aggravate a situation (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ossa

(Other definitions for ossa that I've seen before include "To pile Pelion upon - is to make even greater" , "So as to become a Greek mountain" , "So as to turn to bones" , "mountain in Thessaly" , "Technical name for bones" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
