    What Greek mythology story has the main character standing at a fork in the road facing two people, one who always tells the truth and one who always lies? The hero may ask only one question of either. What was that question and what is the complete story?

    Question #97349. Asked by nick123456. (Jul 08 08 9:19 AM)

    		I have hearn this question before, known as "the liar puzzle". The correct response would be to as either man "Which direction would the other man give"?

    Then proceed to take the opposite route.

    However, I can find no resource from Greek mythology.
