Samson, Hercules, and Gilgamesh were all archetypal representations. The Biblical account states that Samson was given immense strength to aid him against his enemies and allow him to perform superhuman feats, including slaying a lion with his bare hands and massacring an entire army using only the jawbone of a donkey. However, if Samson’s long hair were cut, then his sacred vow would be violated and he would lose his strength. What was the Secret of Samson’s Supernatural Strength?
