In his jewish antiquities, josephus mentions marriages and children of the daughter of herodias named salome. There are two women named salome in the bible, but only one is mentioned by that name The righteous salome was the wife of zebedee (matthew 27:56), the mother of the disciples james and john, and a female follower of jesus. Salome, daughter of herodias and stepdaughter of the tetrarch herod antipas She was the immediate agent in the execution of john the baptist, who had condemned her mother’s marriage to herod. Salome is mentioned in the new testament gospels of matthew and mark, primarily in connection with her involvement in the events surrounding the execution of john the baptist
She is often identified as the daughter of herodias and stepdaughter of king herod antipas. In the new testament, salome was a follower of jesus who appears briefly in the canonical gospels and in apocryphal writings She is named by mark as present at the crucifixion and as one of the myrrhbearers, the women who found jesus's empty tomb. One of the women who followed jesus in galilee and ministered to him (mark 15:40, 41) A comparison between matthew 27:56 and mark 15:40 16:1, 2 identifies her as the wife of zebedee, and therefore mother of james and john.
She is like a little princess who wears a yellow veil, and whose feet are of silver She is like a princess who has little white doves for feet One might fancy she was dancing She is like a woman who is dead Who are those wild beasts howling
