Salome
    n 1: woman whose dancing beguiled Herod into giving her the head
         of John the Baptist

Salome
   perfect. (1.) The wife of Zebedee and mother of James and John
   (Mat. 27:56), and probably the sister of Mary, the mother of our
   Lord (John 19:25). She sought for her sons places of honour in
   Christ's kingdom (Matt. 20:20, 21; comp. 19:28). She witnessed
   the crucifixion (Mark 15:40), and was present with the other
   women at the sepulchre (Matt. 27:56).
   
     (2.) "The daughter of Herodias," not named in the New
   Testament. On the occasion of the birthday festival held by
   Herod Antipas, who had married her mother Herodias, in the
   fortress of Machaerus, she "came in and danced, and pleased
   Herod" (Mark 6:14-29). John the Baptist, at that time a prisoner
   in the dungeons underneath the castle, was at her request
   beheaded by order of Herod, and his head given to the damsel in
   a charger, "and the damsel gave it to her mother," whose
   revengeful spirit was thus gratified. "A luxurious feast of the
   period" (says Farrar, Life of Christ) "was not regarded as
   complete unless it closed with some gross pantomimic
   representation; and doubtless Herod had adopted the evil fashion
   of his day. But he had not anticipated for his guests the rare
   luxury of seeing a princess, his own niece, a grand-daughter of
   Herod the Great and of Mariamne, a descendant, therefore, of
   Simon the high priest and the great line of Maccabean princes, a
   princess who afterwards became the wife of a tetrarch [Philip,
   tetrarch of Trachonitis] and the mother of a king, honouring
   them by degrading herself into a scenic dancer."
