Description
Who was Salome?
Salome Salome, mentioned in Mat.14.6, was the daughter of Herodias and the stepdaughter of Herod Antipas. During Herod's birthday celebration, Salome danced before the guests, pleasing Herod so much that he promised to give her whatever she asked, up to half his kingdom. Prompted by her mother Herodias, who held a grudge against John the Baptist for speaking out against her marriage to Herod, Salome requested the head of John the Baptist on a platter. Herod, though grieved, felt bound by his oath and ordered the execution of John the Baptist. Salome's dance and her role in John the Baptist's death highlight the moral corruption and political intrigues within Herod's court.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
