Posted by Scriptaty | 8:05 PM

Reference to a legend of Alexander the Great. There was a prophecy that whoever was able to undo the Gordian Knot, which had supposedly been tied by King Midas, would rule Asia. When in Gordium, Turkey, Alexander supposedly slashed through the knot with the sword and claimed that by doing so he had fulfilled the prophecy.
