Herodias

Herod apparently has appropriated his position of power through marriage to Herodias (70). The Tetrarch seems to always be in a position of wanting more than he already has. In the play, his desire for his brother’s power (conflated with his desire for his brother’s wife and her royal lineage,) led him to imprison and finally to execute his brother: “the Tetrarch’s brother, his older brother, the first husband of Herodias the Queen, was imprisoned…At the end of the twelve years he had to be
