A '''Gordian knot''' (GOR-dee-un NAHT) is a problem apparently unsolvable due to its complexity and has its history in ancient [[Greece]]. A mythical peasant named Gordius became king of Gordium in [[Phrygia]]. He dedicated his wagon to his god and tied it to a beam with an intricate knot. Later, [[Alexander the Great]] discovered the knot as he was undertaking his campaign against [[Persia]]. Legend said that the man who could solve the Gordian knot would go on to conquer all of [[Asia]]. Alexander solved the problem his own way, by using his sword to cut through the knot. He then went on to conquer Asia.
