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.
