Biblical Samson is known for strength from his uncut hair, while Rastafari culture honors this concept through dreadlocks.
Sif is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, and in the poetry of skalds.
