Alexander the great cut the gordian knot into two with his sword. the old legend stated that who ever untied the knot would rule over all of Asia.
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.
NOT possible, as The Gordian Knot was cut asunder by the brillaint sword stroke of Alexander (soon to be The Great).
He cut it with his sword in the palace....
