Alexander and The Mysterious Knot

retold by Mary Beth

Alexander who had conquered Asia Minor was heading toward Persia.  When stopping in Gordian, Alexander saw a gigantic knot in the center of Gordian.  The townspeople told him that whoever could untie the knot would be the next king of Asia.  Alexander desperately wanted power and untied the knot by slicing it in half.  Maybe because of the knot or maybe not, but Alexander conquered Asia and became known as Alexander The Great.
