Is there any description or drawing of the Gordian knot? Probably not, but I wonder what the actual solution would have been

I imagine some random autist coming there with his own sword trying the same shit. He would be lynched in a second.

the gordian knot is tied in a particular way that a fated ruler was supposed to distend and prove himself

alexander the great approached it, couldn't do it normally, and just cut it with his sword. ordinarily, if it was anyone else, it'd just be a faux pas; but he went on to conquer most of the world

no, the real lesson is might makes right. might to make good on the deed; and might to protect you from the mob.

Everyone was a shorty back then. He was just a little shorter than average. Rest assured a single glare of his eyes would strike a primordial lightening into you, with a power that only a man who has seen thousands of men die in battle without flinching can induce.

Nice illiterate thread about books, retards. Neither Arrian nor Plutarch relates the sword cutting myth as the primary story, they just say he untied a slightly difficult knot.
