Antigone of Troy : Mythology, Note Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antigone of Troy

Antigone (/ænˈtɪɡəni/ ann-TIG-ə-nee; Greek: Ἀντιγόνη) of Troy 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".

Mythology

Antigone claimed that her hair was more beautiful than that of the goddess Hera. Hera, who was angered by that claim, turned Antigone's hair into snakes. Later, another god, pitying her, turned her into a stork. Thereafter, the stork preyed on snakes.
