Alternative title:

Creator:

Jagiełło, Mieszek

Subject and Keywords:

Samson,   Herakles

Abstract:

Samson from the Book of Judges has been compared to Heracles on many occasions. The following paper suggests a new point of view for the subject: while Samson’s solar aspect seems almost undeniable, Heracles’ connection to the deified sun needs reconsideration. Originally, he might have rather been some kind of a sylvan hero. Especially Homer’s description of the mighty demigod points towards this conclusion, but also his dodekathlos provide some evidence. The author explores this hypothesis and proposes a chronology for the evolution of the myth.
