No, Antigone wasn't an epic hero. She was one of the main characters in a tragedy whose title was her very name. Instead, she's a tragic heroine. For she does great deeds by defending those such as the dead who have no defense. She shows great power and strength in burying her brother Polyneices; holding her own against her uncle Theban King Creon; and processing to a cruel, lonely death.
