As a reward, for which skill did Salome demand the gift of John the Baptist's head?
"for criticizing King Herod Antipas's marriage to Herodias, the former wife of Antipas's half-brother Herod II. Herod offered his niece a reward of her choice for performing a dance for his guests on his birthday. Herodias persuaded her daughter to ask for John the Baptist's head on a platter. Against his better judgment, Herod reluctantly acceded to her request. The Romano-Jewish historian Josephus lists Antipas' stepdaughter's name as Salome, but makes no mentions of a dance nor makes any connection between Salome and John the Baptist. The idea that Salome's dance involves ""seven veils"" originates with Wilde's 1891 play ""Salomé""."
"Incited by her mother Herodias, who was reproved by the imprisoned John the Baptist for her illegitimate marriage to Herod, Salome demands John's head in a charger. Regretful but compelled to keep his word in front of his peers, Herod fulfills Salome's demand.

Skaggs also argues that Wilde is attempting to explore different forms of worship, with Salome, the Young Syrian, and Herod worshiping beauty and serving as contrasts for the religious Iokannan, whose worship revolves around God.
