The Tribe of Dan has always appeared to biblical scholars and archaeologists as something of an enigma. For decades, certain scholars, beginning with Yigael Yadin, have proposed a connection between the Denyen/Danaoi Sea People and the Danites of Ancient Israel, arguing that the former became the latter and were adopted into Israel at a later date than the other eleven tribes. Focusing on recent archaeological excavations at Tel Dan and the connections between Samson and Hercules, this study seeks to present a coherent case for the possibility that Yadin’s theory may soon carry weight.
