Long / Short in the mythology

Samson and Delilah

The idea of the length (Long / Short) is in the mythology in the Sanson´s History, the length of his hair as a symbol of male strength. Samson was the leader of the Israelites and had been chosen by God. His long hair, which never cut, gave him superhuman powers. The only person who knew his secret was Delilah. However, she spied for the enemy and betrayed him. One night she cut her hair and so deprived him of his strength. This was the only way in which he could be captured by his enemies.
