• Antigone, daughter of Eurytion and first wife of Peleus.
• Antigone, daughter of Laomedon.
• Antigona, the Pheraean princess as the daughter of King Pheres and Clymene (or Periclymene) and thus, the sister of Admetus, Lycurgus, Eidomene and Periopis. Later on, she married Cometes of Peirasia and became the mother of Asterion, one of the Argonauts.
