The Biblical figure of Samson is sometimes associated with the Strength card. He was, of course, renowned for his great strength, and like his Greek counterpart Hercules slew a lion. The image above is a 15th century engraving by E. S. Meister of Delilah cutting Samson's hair. By this act, she removed the source of his physical prowess. This depiction of a woman subduing a powerful man by the use of her feminine wiles makes for an interesting variation of the Strength card.
