"Deus ex machina", pronounced "DAY-us Eks MAH-kih-nuh,"<ref>http://www.m-w.com</ref> is a device in drama or fiction to suddenly introduce someone who then finds a contrived solution to an otherwise unsolvable problem. Often the "deus ex machina" appears in a chaotic situation and then restores calm and order.

The Greek playwright [[Euripides]] (484-406 B.C.) made frequent use of this literary device.
