"Salomé" is a tragedy by Oscar Wilde, written in French in 1891 and first published in 1893. The play tells the biblical story of Salomé, the stepdaughter of the tetrarch Herod Antipas, who, to her stepfather's dismay but to her mother's delight, requests the head of Jokanaan (John the Baptist) on a silver platter as a reward for performing the Dance of the Seven Veils. Wilde's rendition of the Salomé tale is infused with his characteristic wit, elaborate symbolism, and a decadent aesthetic that was typical of the fin de siècle period.

The play is notable for its exploration of themes such as desire, manipulation, and the destructive power of sexual obsession. Wilde's Salomé is often seen as a femme fatale, a character type that became popular in late 19th-century literature and art. The play's focus on Salomé's sexuality and the graphic depiction of Jokanaan's execution were considered scandalous at the time, leading to the play being banned in London, where it could not be performed in Wilde's lifetime due to the prohibition of biblical subjects on the English stage.

Despite its initial controversy, "Salomé" has had a significant impact on the arts, inspiring a wealth of adaptations and works in various media. Perhaps the most famous of these is Richard Strauss's opera "Salome," which premiered in 1905 and closely follows Wilde's text. The play itself has been translated into multiple languages and continues to be performed and studied as a seminal work that captures the spirit of its era while also addressing timeless questions of power, morality, and the human psyche.
