Summary:

Herodias's role in the death of John the Baptist that is detailed in parallel passages from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke is a familiar New Testament event. But who was Herodias? Here Professor Gillman comments on the relevant gospel passages and surveys what is known of Herodias, her immediate family, and the Roman women with whom the Herodian women interacted.
