Samson
Sansão (pronúncia em português: [sɐ̃.ˈsɐ̃w̃]; שִׁמְשׁוֹן, em hebraico: Shimshon, "filho do sol") foi um dos juízes dos antigos israelitas mencionados no Livro dos Juízes na Bíblia Hebraica (capítulos 13 a 16) e um dos últimos dos líderes que "julgaram" Israel antes da instituição da monarquia. Sansão era tribo de Dã, dotado de uma força sobre-humana que foi usada para salvar Israel do poder dos filisteus. Sansão foi juiz de Israel durante vinte anos no tempo dos filisteus. O relato bíblico afirma que Sansão era nazireu e recebeu grande força para ajudá-lo contra seus inimigos e permitir-lhe realizar feitos sobre-humanos, incluindo despedaçar um leão, como se fosse uma cabra, o fazendo com as próprias mãos e massacrar um exército inteiro de filisteus usando apenas a mandíbula de um jumento.
