Jerome, on Matt 14:6

“But on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod.”

“For Herodias, fearing that Herod might some time recover his senses, and be reconciled to his brother, and dissolve their unlawful union by a divorce, instructs her daughter to ask at once at the banquet the head of John, a reward of blood worthy of the deed of the dancing.”
