    There are two Philips among the sons of Herod the Great.

    The son of Mariamne II: Philip or Herod Philip I. He is the legitimate husband of Herodias (who is also his niece). He is the father of Salome, the princess whose dance leads to the death of John the Baptist.

    The son of Cleopatra of Jerusalem: Philip or Herod Philip II. He is the Tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis. He built the city of Caesarea called "of Philip" at Panias, near the sources of the Jordan, crowned by a magnificent castle.[1]

    This peaceful administrator married his niece ... Salome, 30 years younger than him. It is this character who appears in the work of Maria Valtorta.

    Philip means in Greek "lover of horses" – Historical reference: the father of Alexander the Great.
