Samson and Delilah by Peter Paul Rubens

Delilah is a legendary figure in Abrahamic mythology. She was the lover of the Nazirite Samson, one of the last judges of the ancient Israelites, and one of the last leaders who "judged" Israel before it became a monarchy.

Mythology

Delilah betrayed her lover Samson, by cutting off his hair before throwing him to his Philistine enemies.[1]

Legacy

Around 1609, the story of Samson and Delilah inspired artist Peter Paul Rubens to paint Samson and Delilah.[2]

In 2012, the Assassin Clay Kaczmarek included Rubens' painting of Samson and Delilah in one of the Glyphs inside the Animus for Desmond Miles to find.[2] Desmond did so in September of that year.[3] Some time later, Desmond explored Clay's alternatively represented memories via the Animus' Black Room. During Clay's induction into the Assassin Brotherhood, the walls of the simulation displayed stylistic Hebrew reading ""Dlila" from top to bottom.[4]
