Happy Monday from the Sofitel LA! Do you know the meaning behind this sculpture in our lobby? #funfact and #historylesson... This is the "Gordian Knot" - The Gordian Knot is an Ancient Greek legend of Phrygian Gordium associated with Alexander the Great. It is often used as a metaphor for an intractable problem (untying an impossibly tangled knot) solved easily by finding an approach to the problem that renders the perceived constraints of the problem moot ("cutting the Gordian knot") #sofitellosangeles
