Nov 2, 2023 · Though Herod the Great killed many of his relatives including three sons, his sister Salome remained unscathed; she was probably quite powerful at court. Another problem with the Herodians was that many of them carried the same names, so for early historians to mix them up is understandable.
Salome, Herod’s granddaughter and great-granddaughter, married her uncle Philip. When he died, she married Aristobulus II, her cousin and uncle. Bernice married Herod, her uncle. After his death, she had an incestuous relationship with her brother, Agrippa II.
