Samson was chained to pillars, not Hercules (read all about that in the Book of Judges, chapter 13 and following - in the Bible!). Hercules had a lot of issues, but not like Samson's...

i too had never heard of Abyla and Calpe, but I feel better for knowing =]

As well, I have no idea where Mt Serendip is, or even where to begin looking... I must go and hang my head in shame.
