The following paper suggests a new point of view for the subject: while Samson’s solar aspect seems almost undeniable, Heracles’ connection to the deified sun needs reconsideration. Originally, he might have rather been some kind of a sylvan hero. Especially Homer’s description of the mighty demigod points towards this conclusion, but also his dodekathlos provide some evidence. The author explores this hypothesis and proposes a chronology for the evolution of the myth.}, title={Vom Waldheros zum Sonnenheros, Die Entwicklung der Erzählungen von Samson und Herakles}, type={text}, keywords={Samson,, Herakles}, }
