Samson
Samson (11th century BCE – 12th century BCE) is a figure in both Islam and Christianity. He was one of the last judges of the ancient Israelites, and one of the last leaders who "judged" Israel before it became a monarchy.
Mythology
Samson was a Nazirite with immense strength, however his strength came from his hair which was never cut. One day Samson's lover Delilah betrayed him and cut 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, 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]
