Summary
Notes to fig. 2 (p. 239)
⋆‘Herod’, Herodias and Antipas. The ‘Herod’ of these three is the son of Herod the Great and Mariamme II. Ant. xviii.v.i. (109–11) tells how Herod the tetrarch (i.e. Antipas) fell in love with Herodias, wife of his half-brother, also called Herod, son of the high priest's daughter (i.e. Mariamme II). See Wari.xxviii.4 (562) for list of descendants of Herod the Great which includes this ‘Herod’. Herodias as a consequence left her husband and married Antipas, who divorced his wife, daughter of Aretas IV of Nabataea. It was for this that John the Baptist rebuked Antipas. According to Mark 6:17 Herodias' first husband was called Philip, and it is often assumed that his full name was Herod Philip. He should not be confused with Philip the tetrarch, son of Herod the Great and Cleopatra of Jerusalem.
