    Herodias and Salome in Mark’s story about the beheading of John the Baptist.Wim J. C. Weren - 2019 - HTS Theological Studies 75 (4):9.
    According to Mark 6:14–29, John the Baptist was beheaded by the order of Herod Antipas.

    René Girard y el juramento de Herodes.Amalia Quevedo - 2019 - Tópicos: Revista de Filosofía 57:149-174.
    There is nothing better than René Girard’s mimetic desire and scapegoat’s theory to interpret and understand the enigmatic episode of the death of John the Baptist at the climax of Herod’s birthday celebration. Before Girard, many literary pieces have dealt with this same subject. Among them, Oscar Wilde’s Salome and Gustave Flaubert’s Hérodias, which offer a fascinating approach to the story told both by the Gospels and by historian Flavius Josephus.
