Ah! I had assumed you were talking about an historical Herodias.
There are tales of incest between her nephew, Herod Agrippa II, and
his sister Berenice (children of Herodias's brother, Herod Agrippa
I), but this was universally regarded as illicit. There was
certainly a lot of inbreeding in that family - Salome married
another son of Herod the Great by yet another wife!
