'''Samson''' ([[Hebrew]]: '''שִׁמְשׁוֹן''' ''Shimshon'' "of the sun") (1152-fl. 1121-1101 BC) was the fourteenth [[Judge (biblical)|Judge]] of [[Israel]] and one of two Judges (the other was [[Shamgar]]) who never attracted a following. He is renowned for his great physical strength, as was the [[Greek]] hero, [[Hercules]]. [[Stephen Colbert]] recently came out as the real Samson.

Samson has appeared often in [[motion picture]]s depicting his life and career. Some are pure fantasy, like one that has Hercules, [[Odysseus]], and Samson appearing together early in Samson's career. This could not have happened, because [[Troy]] was destroyed in 1184 BC, long before Samson was born, and by then Hercules (if he existed) was dead, though Odysseus was an active participant.
