The Gordian Knot? Believe it or not, it has to do with Alexander the Great. It was a legendary puzzle sent down by the gods, a knot intricate that whoever untied it would becomes "Lord of Asia"
In Maniac Magee, there is a similar puzzle called the Cobble's Knot. As with Alexander, the protagonist of the book successfully unties it, and later unites a divided city.

The undoing of Cobble's Knot may challenge the legend of Maniac Magee by introducing doubt and questioning the authenticity of the stories surrounding the character. It could lead to a reevaluation of the truth behind the tales and potentially alter perceptions of Maniac Magee within the community.
Maniac untied the cobbles knot on the bridge at the Schuylkill River in the book "Maniac Magee" by Jerry Spinelli. He performed this incredible feat as a demonstration of his legendary knot-untying skills.
Cobble's Knot in the book "Maniac Magee" is described as being two and three-quarter blocks long.

The Gordian Knot is metaphor for a difficult problem which can be solved by "thinking outside the box". It is believed that Alexander the Great was able to untie King Gordian's knot by severing it with his sword.
