Antigone of Troy (/ænˈtɪɡəni/ ann-TIG-ə-nee; Greek: Ἀντιγόνη) is a minor figure in Greek mythology. She is the daughter of the Trojan king Laomedon and the sister of Priam.^[1] The meaning of the name is, as in the case of the masculine equivalent Antigonus, "worthy of one's parents" or "in place of one's parents".^{[citation needed]}

In the account given by the First Vatican Mythographer, Antigone claimed that she was more beautiful than the goddess Hera. Hera, who was angered by that claim, turned Antigone's hair into snakes. Later, the gods, taking pity upon her, turned her into a stork. Thereafter, the stork preyed on snakes.^[2]
