Exegesis
The verse opens with the dative absolute genesiois de genomenois tou Hērōidou {γενεσίοις δὲ γενομένοις τοῦ Ἡρῴδου | ge-ne-SÍ-ois de ge-no-MÉ-nois tou Hē-RŌI-dou}, which functions as a temporal clause and can be rendered “when the birthday celebration of Herod had come.” The participle genomenois is circumstantial, specifying the time frame in which the main actions occur.
In context — Matthew 14:6
But when the birthday celebration of Herod had come, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and she pleased Herod.
