Greek Commentary for Mark 6:22
Genitive absolute again. Some ancient manuscripts read αυτου autou (his, referring to Herod Antipas. So Westcott and Hort) instead of αυτης autēs (herself). In that case the daughter of Herodias would also have the name Herodias as well as Salome, the name commonly given her. That is quite possible in itself. It was toward the close of the banquet, when all had partaken freely of the wine, that Herodias made her daughter come in and dance “Such dancing was an almost unprecedented thing for women of rank, or even respectability. It was mimetic and licentious, and performed by professionals” (Gould). Herodias stooped thus low to degrade her own daughter like a common εταιρα hetaira in order to carry out her set purpose against John. [source]
The maudlin group lounging on the divans were thrilled by the licentious dance of the half-naked princess. Whatsoever thou wilt (ο εαν τεληις ho ean thelēis) The drunken Tetrarch had been caught in the net of Herodias. It was a public promise. [source]
(ο εαν τεληις ho ean thelēis) The drunken Tetrarch had been caught in the net of Herodias. It was a public promise. [source]
The A. V. misses the point of αὐτῆς , by the translation the said: the object being not to particularize the Herodias just referred to, but to emphasize the fact that Herodias' own daughter was put forward instead of a professional dancer. Hence Rev., correctly, “the daughter of Herodias herself. ” [source]
See on Mark 5:41. [source]
