Dear Friends --
>From this line, it's clear that Herodias was Herod's wife, not his daughter.
Herod was Salome's *legal* father,although he was actually her uncle.
A bit of punctuation in a simple English translation might make it easier to get this verse, which says something like: 'when his daughter (Herodias's) came in and danced....'
Hope this helps a little!
Peace and blessings to all.
