Samson is a semi-God. The myth goes that Samson is a man who lives in a town ruled by a cruel king, but as Samson took care of the town's enemies, the king grew jealous of him, so he hired thug/s to kill him. They did not prevail, so the king sent a girl to fake be in love with him and get his secret. Soon she discovered that if someone cut his hair off, he would be weak (long hair is strong; short hair is weak). So that night when he was asleep, she cut his hair, and soon the king's guards came to take him away. Samson's hair grows back, and he wants to be rid of the corrupt king. He makes pillars fall in the palace, killing the king. He saves the town, though.
