Product Description
Handmade charm inspired by Gordian knot with enamel, in 925 silver.
The
term “Gordian knot,” commonly used to describe a complex or unsolvable
problem, can be traced back to a legendary chapter in the life of
Alexander the Great.
As the story goes, in 333 B.C. the Macedonian
conqueror marched his army into the Phrygian capital of Gordium in
modern day Turkey. Upon arriving in the city, he encountered an ancient
wagon, its yoke tied with what one Roman historian later described as
“several knots all so tightly entangled that it was impossible to see
how they were fastened.”
Phrygian tradition held that the
wagon had once belonged to Gordius, the father of the celebrated King
Midas. An oracle had declared that any man who could unravel its
elaborate knots was destined to become ruler of all of Asia.
According
to the ancient chronicler Arrian, the impetuous Alexander was instantly
“seized with an ardent desire” to untie the Gordian knot. After
wrestling with it for a time and finding no success, he stepped back
from the mass of gnarled ropes and proclaimed, “It makes no difference
how they are loosed.” He then drew his sword and sliced the knot in half
with a single stroke.
