Samson is provided with a tremendous force that resides in his hair as he belongs to the state of Israel in war with the Philistins under whose yoke they live. Delilah - that means ‘sexpot’ in arab - is sent by the Philistins to discover the secret of Samson’s strength. Using her seductive assets, Delilah manages to make Samson fall in love with her and claims for the revelation of his confidential information. Wen he finally does so, the treacherous lover awaits for Samson to sleep before cutting of the seven braids that keep his force. The Philistins can thus imprison the betrayed hero who, as his hair grows again, wrecks his prison and its palace, killing thousands of ennemies and sacrificing his very own life. The tale has become the theme of various art work, an opera written by Camille de Saint Saens and a majestic peplum by Cecil B. DeMille that all have in common the enhancement of Delilah’s sensuality in the intimacy of the couple’s bed, the contrast between the naive muscular hero and the voluptuous cruel temptress - a part the Bible fancies according to women.
