In Greek mythology, Antiphonus (Ancient Greek Ἀντίφονος, "in revenge for blood") is a Trojan prince, one of the sons of King Priam. Homer names him among the nine sons Priam chides when he sets out to ransom Hector; Quintus of Smyrna has Neoptolemus kill him with his brothers Polites and Pammon in the sack of the city.

I.Son of Priam
Iliad 24 lists Antiphonus among the sons Priam summons and rebukes before the ransom of Hector. In the Posthomerica he falls to Neoptolemus together with Polites and Pammon during the city's fall — a thin but named Priamid in the atlas roster.
Keep him distinct from other Anti-phon- / Antiphus stems among Priam's sons and Achaean captains.
