Yes, I was in fact referring to this claim. My memory fails me on this one
too, though. I
haven't, however, heard of a connection between Samson and Achilles. Both
have the love of
a woman (Delilah in Samson's case, Briseis in Achilles' case) as a real thorn
in the side,
and both meet tragic ends which happen to facilitate a great defeat of the
enemy.
Just a thought.
