Herodias is the original villain in the story of the death of John the Baptist. She is the one who plots to have John the Baptist killed and cunningly uses his daughter Salome to reach her goal. It is to her that the infamous kiss to the head of the dead John the Baptist is first attributed by Heine. Gradually however her role is overshadowed by her daughter, who replaced her as the villain of the story and condemned her to a marginal and obscure role.
