Coin of Salome (daughter of Herodias), queen of Chalcis and Armenia Minor.

Salome or Salomé (Hebrew: שלומית Shlomit), the Daughter of Herodias (c AD 14 - between 62 and 71), like Dismas, or the various names of the Three Magi, is a name given to a character in the New Testament, one whose name is not given there itself. She is, however, an entirely historical person, whose name is preserved in non-biblical literature. In scholarly works, she tends to be referred to as the Daughter of Herodias.

Account by Flavius Josephus

The name "Salome" is given to the stepdaughter of Herod Antipas (unnamed in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark) in Josephus' Jewish Antiquities (Book XVIII, Chapter 5, 4): A fanciful representation of Flavius Josephus, in an engraving in William Whistons translation of his works Josephus (37 – sometime after 100 AD/CE)[1], who became known, in his capacity as a Roman citizen, as Flavius Josephus[2], was a 1st-century Jewish historian and apologist of priestly and...

Biblical character

Salome with the Head of John the Baptist by Titian, painted circa 1515 (Galleria Doria Pamphilj, Rome)

According to Mark 6:21-29, Salome was the step-daughter of Herod Antipas, and danced before Herod and her mother Herodias at the occasion of Herod's birthday, and by doing so caused the death of John the Baptist. The New Testament suggests that Salome caused John to be executed because of his complaints that Herod's marriage to Herodias was adulterous; and that Herodias put her up to the demand that John be executed, something the king was initially reluctant to do.

And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist. And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. (Mark 6:21-29, KJV)

Some ancient Greek translations of Mark read "Herod's daughter Herodias" (rather than "daughter of the said Herodias"). To scholars using these ancient texts, both mother and daughter had the same name. However, scholars using the Latin Vulgate Bible (which translates the passage as it is above) did not confuse the two; thus western Church Fathers tended to refer to Salome as "Herodias's daughter" or just "the girl". Nevertheless, because she is otherwise unnamed in the Bible, the idea that both mother and daughter were named Herodias gained some currency in early modern Europe.

Oscar Wilde's play

Main article: Salome (play)

This story was made the subject of a play by Oscar Wilde that premiered in Paris in 1896, under the French name Salomé. In Wilde's play, Salome takes a perverse fancy for John the Baptist, and causes him to be executed when John spurns her affections. In the finale, Salome takes up John's severed head and kisses it. Because British law forbade the depiction of Biblical characters on stage, Wilde wrote the play originally in French, and then produced an English translation (titled Salome). Wilde's French was as close to perfect as is possible for a nonnative French speaker; nevertheless, he showed it to at least two esteemed French writers who were his acquaintances, one of whom said to correct the idiom would be to destroy the unique harmonies of the Wildean French. The play was also proofread by Marcel Schwob. In the English version Alfred Bruce Douglas (Bosie) is indicated as translator.

Richard Strauss opera

Main article: Salome (opera)

The Wilde play (in the German translation of Hedwig Lachmann) was edited down to a one-act opera by Richard Strauss. It is part of the standard operatic repertoire, and is now better known than the Wilde play itself.^{[citation needed]} The opera Salome, which premiered in Dresden in 1905, is famous for the Dance of the seven veils. As with the Wilde play, it turns the action on to Salome herself, reducing her mother to a bit-player, though the Wilde play centers mostly upon Herod's motivations.

Jules Massenet opera

Main article: Hérodiade

The 1881 opera Hérodiade by Jules Massenet tells a slightly different story of the relationship between Salome, John the Baptist and Herod. The rather sub-standard libretto by Paul Milliet, Gremont and Zamadini based upon the novella Herodias by Gustave Flaubert (published in Three Tales, 1877) gives full responsibility for John's death to Salome's mother Herodias and the priests who fear his religious power. Salome herself is shown as a loving disciple of John who commits suicide when he is executed.

Florent Schmitt ballet

Massenet's pupil Florent Schmitt composed a ballet La tragédie de Salomé in 1907 as a commission from Jacques Rouché for Loie Fuller and the Théâtre des Arts. From the original ballet score, scored for twenty instruments and lasting about an hour, Schmitt prepared a symphonic poem of the same name, half as long as the ballet score, for a much expanded orchestra. The symphonic poem version is much better-known (with recordings conducted by Schmitt himself, Paul Paray, Jean Martinon, Antonio de Almeida, Marek Janowski and others), but there is also an excellent recording of the 1907 ballet score under Patrick Davin on the Marco Polo label. The rhythmic syncopations, polyrhythms, percussively treated chords, bitonality, and scoring of Schmitt's work anticipate Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. While composing The Rite of Spring Stravinsky acknowledged that Schmitt's ballet gave him greater joy than any work he heard in a long time, but they fell out with each other in later years, and Stravinsky reversed his opinion of Schmitt's works.

Flemming Flindt ballet
