Antigone of Troy is a minor figure in Greek mythology. She is the daughter of the Trojan king Laomedon and the sister of Priam.
Antigone claimed that her hair was more beautiful than that of the goddess Hera. Hera, angered by such a claim, turned Antigone's hairs into snakes. Later another god, pitying her, turned her into a stork. Thereafter the stork preyed on snakes.
