Salome! Shes a "character" from the new testament and also the original femme fatale
Worth mentioning: Aphrodite and the Sirens from the Odyssey

Salome is indeed an age old femme fatale but not the original by far. Even in her own time there were far more famous women of this archetype.

Her inclusion in the Bible makes her noteworthy, however in the politics of the time she was not seen as such a big deal in comparison to say Poppea Sabina, Clodia or similar and that's only in the Roman culture.

Bible is good advertising but bad history.

I think its unfair to call Eve a femme fatale. She was seduced by the serpent. I can't exactly remember how much persuading she had to do to get Adam to succumb but, from what i remember all she had to do was ask.
