When Cordelia is about to cut Groo’s hair in 3.14 Couplet, she asks him if his strength is in his hair.
Cordy: “Oh, wait. It’s not like your strength is in your hair, or anything like that, right?”
Groo: “No. I - believe it is in my muscles.”
This is a reference to the biblical figure Samson mentioned in the Book of Judges chapters 13 to 16 in the Hebrew Bible, the Tanakh. Because Samson was Nazaritic, he was not allowed to shave is hair. If it would be shaven, he would lose his strength. When the women he loves, Delilah, finds out what the secret of Samson’s strength is, she orders to cut of his hair. This makes Samson lose his strength.
