	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Gordian Knot
		According to a Phrygian tradition, at Telmissus, the ancient capital of Phrygia, which was in the eastern part of Phrygia that later became part of Galatia, an oracle decreed to the Phrygians, who found themselves temporarily without a legitimate king, that the next man to enter the city driving an ox-cart should become their king.
		Gordias, a poor peasant, happened to drive into town with his wife, both riding on an ox-cart, and he was declared king.
		In gratitude, he dedicated the ox-cart to the Phrygian god Sabazios, whom the Greeks identified with Zeus, and either tied it to a post or tied its shaft with an intricate knot of cornel (Cornus mas) bark.

	CONK! Encyclopedia: Midas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Midas (often referred to as King Midas) was a character in Greek mythology, who is mostly recognized for his ability to turn anything he touched into gold.
		He was King of Pessinus, a city in Phrygia in Asia Minor, who as a child was adopted by Gordias and Cybele.
		He was known for being a hedonist, and an excellent rose gardener, and according to the myth, he had one son, Lityerses, but in some variations of the myth he had a daughter (name unknown) instead of a son.

	sabazios (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Early conflict between Sabazios and his followers and the indigenous Mother Goddess of Phrygia (Cybele) is reflected in Homer's brief reference to the youthful feats of Priam, who aided the Phrygians in their battles with Amazons.
		An aspect of the compromise religious settlement, similar to the other such mythic adjustments throughout Aegean culture, can be read in the later Phrygian King Gordias' adoption 'with Cybele' of Midas.
		Later Greek mythographers reduced Cybele's role to 'wife,' but initially Gordias will have been ruling in the Goddess's name, as her visible representative.

		It presents a driven scholar, Vivian Ezra, who is the literary agent for a legendary, deceased writer, Gordias Carbuncle; the cynical old publisher, Randall Wellington Jr., whom she takes his novel to; and a young fl novelist, Pauline Newberry.
		We meet the real Gordias Carbuncle in Paris in the '30s and find that, like his name, he is entirely self-invented and phony.
		We see what his real relationship was to the researcher-mistress who hid his manuscript after he died, and what really occurred between him and the real Selma Thomas.

	GpsPasSion Forums - Unexpected Closure of Programme
		Have removed some programms and am now running with more than 21mb of free memory (which as its almost a third of the available memory really should be enough), but it still just switches off at random times (incidentally I'm not using the program with a GPS system).
		If the program was notified to shut down and then exited cleanly without an error, and particularly if it saved the settings and remembered the active folder and map, then it was acting on a system request.
		The question then becomes, for you Gordias and you John, what is making your Pocket PCs think that they are running so low on resources that they need to close applications.
