1. gordius

   Gordius typically refers to two distinct concepts in history and biology: 1) In Greek mythology, Gordius was the king of Phrygia, known for creating the complex Gordian Knot that, according to legend, was only untangled by Alexander the Great. 2) In biology, Gordius is a genus of hairworms or nematomorpha, a type of parasitic worm. The species in this genus are commonly referred to as horsehair worms or Gordian worms due to their long, thin appearance.
