For the past two days I have done nothing but search every site about Alexander the Great, and still can't figure this one out! Any ideas?"Alexander cut me, an oracle predicted me, a future king tied me, say my name to clear your path." I would really appreciate any input! Thanks!

Looks like it relates to the cutting of the 'Gordian Knot' by Alexander. Hope that helps?Kit

Hi,It seems like a reference to the Gordian knot.
See under "Art and Legends" then "Gordian knot" at the Pothos.org main page.
Hope that helps

In Greek legend, the Gordian knot was the name given to an intricate knot used by Gordius to secure his oxcart. Gordius, who was a poor peasant, arrived with his wife in a public square of Phrygia in an oxcart. An oracle had informed the populace that their future king would come riding in a wagon. Seeing Gordius, the people made him king. In gratitude, Gordius dedicated his oxcart to Zeus, tying it up with a peculiar knot. An oracle foretold that he who untied the knot would rule all of Asia.Courtesy of Oliver Stone's 'Alexander' film website!regards Kit
