Salomé

King Herod Antipas marries his brother's wife, Herodias, which is not acceptable in Judaism and therefore arouses the wrath of John the Baptist. To silence John, who won't stop speaking out against Herodias, Herod throws him into a dungeon. Salome, Herodia's daughter falls in love with John who calls her an abomination and refuses to reciprocate her love. Salome seduces her step father, Herod and forces him to execute John.
