El Alamein's "12 Labors" Edges:

 Melee 1: Jawbone of an Ass vs. Hound Heads:  The jawbone, in Samson's hands, will be a fearsome weapon, but it's clumsy, small, and fragile. One swing too wild and you've shattered the jawbone against the rocky walls of the Underworld. Cerberus' greatest advantage here is his three heads - allowing him to attack, defend, and recover simultaneously.

Edge: Cerberus

 Melee 2: Bronze Khopesh/Sickle Sword vs. Snake-Tail:  Once you put a true weapon into Samson's hand, like a powerful slicing sword, he's going to become a beast killer. That snake is just another foe for him to decapitate. Sure, it might distract him a little - and the poison is nothing to joke about - but all it takes is one swing from the sword and the snake is done for. I'm pretty sure the blades will hold their own against the dog-heads themselves.

Edge: Samson

 Long Range: Stone and Sling vs. Roar:  While the roar is scary, Samson is no pushover. I doubt it'd have much of an effect on him, psychological or otherwise - in fact, it might make him take the threat more seriously and hasten in finishing it off. The sling isn't a superb weapon, but as David showed, it can certainly work given the right conditions, and when swung with Samson's arm behind it, that little stone will be a lethal tool.

Edge: Samson

 Special Abilities: Samson's Strength and Human Intelligence vs. Cerberus' Size and Venom:  Samson's strength is really what allows him to approach Cerberus and stand a chance to begin with. Give him weapons to carry that strength home and Cerberus will be chopped to bits. That being said, Cerberus is huge - and one misstep that brings Samson in range of a venomous bite will be game over for the human. Both of these warriors are tough in their own respect - this category is a draw.

Edge: Even

WINNER: SAMSON

I mean, look at Heracles, who wrestled Cerberus with his bare hands and emerged victorious. Heracles' Biblical counterpart could easily do the same - but you're giving him bloody weapons to help him out. Cerberus doesn't have combat experience - standing at the entrance of the Underworld for millenia doesn't make you a better fighter. Samson, however, is hard-wired for war, giving him experience to back up his brawn. Samson will walk down to Hades, and walk back out the same way he came in, victorious.
