The Herakles knot is an ancient symbol of love and marriage
In Roman weddings, the Herakles knot was tied around the bride and only her groom could untie it. This custom may have been the origin of the phrase 'tying the knot'
The knot is found as a healing charm in ancient Egypt, but is also known for its use in ancient Greece and Rome as a protective amulet.
