Who was Herodias’ daughter?
Question:
Who was Herodias' daughter, the one who was a dancer?
Answer:
"But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod" (Matthew 14:6; see also Mark 6:22).
The daughter's name is not mentioned in the Bible, but we know from historical writings that her name was Salome. She was the daughter of Philip, a son of Herod the Great, and Herodias, who was a granddaughter of the same Herod the Great. See "The Death of John" for more details.
