AncientPages.com | April 7, 2018

AncientPages.com - The Gordian Knot is a metaphorical expression that means a complicated problem or deadlock when we have the insolvable problem, which is our “impossible knot”.

It has its beginnings long time ago, when the Phrygians had no ruler and they plunged into a civil war, an ancient prophecy of the oracle was announced at Telmissus (the ancient capital of Lycia).
