  5. Cleopatra of Jerusalem
  6. Pallas

And the one mentioned in The Bible,

Mark 6:18 and

Matthew 14:3-5 (NLT) 3 For Herod had arrested and imprisoned John as a favor to his wife Herodias (the former wife of Herod's brother Philip). 4 John had been telling Herod, "It is against God's law for you to marry her." 5 Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of a riot, because all the people believed John was a prophet.

The wife of Herod the Great is not mentioned in the Bible. He is reported outside of the Bible to have had a number of wives.

The wife of Herod Antipas was Herodias.
