Homonym: Gordian Knot (Puzzle)
The term "Gordian Knot" originates from an ancient legend about a complex knot tied by King Gordius of Phrygia. According to the myth, it was so intricate that no one could untie it. An oracle prophesied that whoever could unravel the knot would become the ruler of all Asia.
Alexander the Great famously encountered the Gordian Knot during his campaign in Asia. Instead of attempting to untie it, he sliced through the knot with his sword, demonstrating his boldness and decisiveness. This act has since become a metaphor for solving complex problems through unconventional means.
