The term 'Samson' refers to a figure in the Bible, who was known for his great strength. He was the son of Manoah and was born to a barren woman. He was given supernatural strength by God, which he used to defeat the Philistines. He was eventually betrayed by his lover Delilah, who cut off his hair and rendered him powerless. This story is often used as a cautionary tale about the dangers of trusting too easily.
