Could Salem be based on the Gorgon Medusa of Greek mythos? I've researched Medusa somewhat and I can see at least some of her attributes being used by Salem. The black goo that brings forth the Grimm actually being her blood is one example, with Medusa's blood conjuring up venomous snakes and other monstrosities. Not to mention that their appearances are strikingly similar, with Salem's hair being reminiscent of Medusa's snake hair as depicted in most interpretations. On top of that, Medusa can be interpreted as representing Nihilism, which is possibly a psilosophy that Salem embodies. Thoughts?
