Something wrong?She danced for her stepfather and asked for a prophet's head on a platter. The New Testament never names her, but centuries of artists, composers, and playwrights turned that single biblical scene into obsession - Wilde wrote a play, Strauss an opera, painters couldn't stop.

Salome was a Jewish princess, daughter of Herod II and Herodias, granddaughter of Herod the Great. At her stepfather Herod Antipas's birthday celebration, she danced and was promised anything she wanted. At her mother's urging, she demanded the head of John the Baptist. The historian Josephus records she later married her uncle Philip the Tetrarch, and after his death in AD 34, married her cousin Aristobulus of Chalcis, becoming queen of Armenia Minor. That single dance echoed across centuries: Titian and Gustave Moreau painted her, Oscar Wilde wrote his 1891 play, Richard Strauss composed the opera in 1905, and Rita Hayworth played her in the 1953 film.
