The mystery of this biblical drama, which unfolded just a few years after the crucifixion of Christ, has haunted outstanding artists, writers, and directors for centuries. The New Testament story is probably known to everyone: the dance of the young girl Salome pleases her stepfather, the ruler of Galilee Herod Antipas, so much that he is ready to give her everything, even half of his kingdom, as a reward! But at the instigation of her mother, Salome asked Herod for the head of his opponent, the prophet John the Baptist... However, was everything like this in reality and how did it happen that the name Salome, which in Hebrew meant “peaceful,” is now associated with bloodthirstiness and vice? Who is she really - a cold and calculating femme fatale, whose vicious seductiveness excited not only the titans of the Renaissance - Durer, Titian, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, but also Oscar Wilde, and in the 20th century became the prototype of the image of the femme fatale in world cinema, or – an unfortunate victim of circumstances, caught up in a whirlpool of court intrigue? This novel completely unravels the mystery of Salome, putting an end to the story of the DANCE FOR KING HEROD.
