Re: Samson was Greek
Samson has been compared to Herakles/Hercules, too. And there is a village called Bene-berak listed as a Danite possession in Joshua 19.45; Bene-berak literally means "sons of lightning". Shades of Boanerges: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2282&p=50739#p50739. Quite a few scholars have identified Dan (the tribe) as of Greek descent, I believe.Clive wrote:http://www.haaretz.com/jewish/archaeology/1.756385
