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. According to tradition,
this knot was to be untied only by the future conqueror of Asia. In

an impetuous warrior, Alexander sliced through the knot with his
sword.
