samson (name)
these views are disputed by traditional and conservative biblical scholars who consider samson to be a literal historical figure and thus reject any connections to mythological heroes. the concept of samson as a "solar hero" has been described as "an artificial ingenuity". joan comay, co-author of "who's who in the bible: the old testament and the apocrypha, the new testament", believes that the biblical story of samson is so specific concerning time and place that samson was undoubtedly a real person who pitted his great strength against the oppressors of israel. in contrast, james king west considers that the hostilities between the philistines and hebrews appear to be of a "purely personal and local sort". he also considers that samson stories have, in contrast to much of judges, an "almost total lack of a religious or moral tone". conversely, elon gilad of "haaretz" writes "some biblical stories are flat-out cautions against marrying foreign women, none more than the story of samson". gilad notes how samson's parents disapprove of his desire to marry a philistine woman and how samson's relationship with delilah leads to his demise. he contrasts this with what he sees as a more positive portrayal of intermarriage in the book of ruth.
