SALOME

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SALOME , in Jewish history the name borne by several women of the
Herod
  dynasty. (I)
Sister
  of
Herod
  the
Great
 , who became the wife successively of Joseph, Herod's uncle, Costobar,
governor
  of
Idumaea
 , and a certain Alexas. (2) Daughter of Herod by-

Elpis, his eighth wife. (3) Daughter of Herodias by her first husband Herod Philip. She was the wife successively of Philip the Tetrarch and Aristobulus, son of Herod of Chalcis. This Salome is the only one of the three who is mentioned in the New Testament (Matt. xiv. 3 sqq.; Mark vi. 17 sqq.) and only in connexion with the execution of John the Baptist. Herod Antipas, pleased by her dancing, offered her a reward " unto the half of my kingdom "; instructed by Herodias, she asked for John the Baptist's " head in a charger "1 (see HEROD H. ANTIPAS).
Salome is also the name of one of the women who are mentioned as present at the Crucifixion (Mark xv. 40), and afterwards in the Sepulchre (xvi. I). Comparison with Matt.
xxvii
 . 56 suggests that she was also the wife of Zebedee (cf. Matt. xx. 20-23). It is further conjectured that she was a
sister
  of
Mary
  the
mother
  of Jesus, in which case James and John would be cousins of Jesus. In the
absence
  of specific evidence any such identification must be regarded with suspicion.
