_{↳ samson}

_{Samson was given inhuman strength by God to do His bidding, mostly because God was angry with the Philistines and so decided to use Samson as a tool of punishment against them, a purpose which Samson excelled at. The best-known story of Samson, however, is to do with a woman named Delilah and how she rendered him completely helpless by cutting off his hair, the source of his godlike powers. After his incredible strength was gone, the Philistines blinded Samson and enslaved him. However, when his hair was longer again, Samson pulled apart (or pulled together, depending on the interpretation) the two central pillars of a Philistine temple that he’d been brought to, thus killing everyone inside, himself included.}

MEN OF THE ILIAD: Hector

“The godlike Hector, high above the rest,
Shakes his huge spear, and nods his plumy crest:
In throngs around his native bands repair,
And groves of lances glitter in the air.”
