A play by the British author O. Wilde. Published in 1893. Written in French, it was translated into English (1894) by the author's friend A. Douglas. It is based on a story from the Bible. Herodias, Queen of Judea, has a daughter, Salome, from her first marriage. Salome is in love with the prophet Jokanaan, who is held captive by the king, but he rejects her. Salome dances at the king's request and asks for Jokanaan's head as a reward. The king, who had promised to give her anything she wanted, is forced to grant Salome's request. Salome dances wildly with the head and is killed by soldiers under the king's orders. It is famous for its aesthetic perversion and brilliant rhetoric. It premiered in Paris in 1896. It was banned in England until 1931 because of its blasphemous content. The illustrations by A. Beardsley for the English version are famous. It was later adapted into an opera by R. Strauss (1905).

イギリスの作家 O.ワイルドの戯曲。 1893年刊。フランス語で書かれ,作者の友人 A.ダグラスによって英訳 (1894) された。聖書の物語に材をとる。ユダヤの王妃エロディアスには,最初の結婚によってもうけた娘サロメがいる。サロメは王に捕えられている預言者ヨカナーンを恋しているが,ヨカナーンは彼女を拒む。サロメは王の求めに応じて踊り,褒美にヨカナーンの首を所望する。何でも望むものを与えると約束していた王は,やむなくサロメの願いを聞き届ける。サロメは首を持って踊り狂い,王の命令を受けた兵士たちに殺害される。耽美的な倒錯趣味と華麗な修辞によって有名。 96年パリで初演。イギリスでは,内容が冒涜的という理由で,1931年にいたるまで公演が禁止されていた。英語版のために A.ビアズリーが描いた挿絵は著名。のちに R.シュトラウスによってオペラ化 (1905) された。
