ResumoA plethora of artists in nineteenth century France were inspired to create works based on the Salome/Herodias myth. Among the novels, poems, dramas, operas, ballets, essays and paintings by Flaubert, Poictevin, Huysmans, Mallarme, Laforgue, Wilde, Gautier, Lorrain, Klingsor, Moreau, Regnault, Willette, Massenet, and Heine, there were 2789 works by lesser known talents. The variety of interpretation awarded the Salome/Herodias myth was such that in some cases the work of art altered both the spirit and letter of the ancient myth. The A. therefore felt important to study some of the earliest versions of this myth so as to understand its significance and impact on nineteenth century creative artists
