Antigone reminds me of the eldest sister in Patricia C. Wrede's retelling of the Cruel Sister/Binorie story - I can totally imagine her saying "It was not true when she said it, but I will make it true." And yes, this was spurred by something - the part where Antigone doesn't let Ismene share in her guilt. It's not quite the same idea, but it's a similar sense of justice.
(Speaking of that story, it was a really good retelling, and I hope I can still find the book!)
