Description:
The Gordian Knot is a legend of Phrygian Gordium associated with Alexander the Great. It is often used as a metaphor for an intractable problem (disentangling an "impossible" knot) solved easily by finding a loophole or thinking creatively ("cutting the Gordian knot"):
Turn him to any cause of policy,
The Gordian Knot of it he will unloose,
Familiar as his garter
—?Shakespeare, Henry V, Act 1 Scene 1. 45–47
