Ηρωδιάς by Gustave Flaubert
"Ηρωδιάς" by Gustave Flaubert is a short story published in 1877 as part of Three Tales. The work retells the biblical story of John the Baptist's execution. At Herod Antipas's birthday celebration, his wife Herodias orchestrates a deadly plan involving her daughter Salomé. Through a promise made to the dancing girl, the story leads to John's beheading while his disciples await the coming Messiah. Flaubert drew inspiration from Rouen Cathedral and his
travels in Egypt. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
