Message: "Salome..." - Behind the Name

[Opinions] Salome...

Salome isn't really the name of the Biblical character who wanted John the Baptist's head. Her name isn't mentioned in the Bible at all. Oscar Wilde was the first one to use the name Salome for the character in his play 'Salome'. Strauss's famous opera was based on this controversial play, and thus people started to associate the name Salome with the princess.

Maybe that changes your opinion :-)
