When I first learned that I was descended from a woman named Herodias, I figured that her parents must not have been listening well in church.<br /><br />I have heard from many of Herod's descendants that their families are known for hard-headed women. It's fun to think that Herodias is responsible!Jo Ann Butlerhttp://joann@rebelpuritan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-28560873557192571532011-05-04T07:26:10.897-05:002011-05-04T07:26:10.897-05:00Ooh, what an interesting time period to cover.

That's covered in the book - she chooses to go by a shorter form of her name (Herod, pronounced more like Hor-rud or Harwood) because her given name was so notorious.Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-61252247067976052472011-05-03T13:13:28.028-05:002011-05-03T13:13:28.028-05:00I simply can't imagine any respectable couple ...I simply can't imagine any respectable couple naming a baby Herodias--it must have been after she started into her rebellious childhood.
