James the Greater is the brother of John the apostle, both of which are called the sons of Zebedee. James and John were given the nickname "Sons of Thunder" as described in Mark 3:1. All that is known of Zebedee is that he ran family fishing business which included his two sons [Matthew 4:21-22 and Mark 1:20].

The Catholic Encyclopedia concludes that the Salome of Mark 15:40 is probably identical with the mother of the James and John (sons of Zebedee in Matthew).
