We classify maximal antipodal subgroups of the quotient groups of the compact classical Lie groups and explicitly describe them by using the dihedral group of order 8. The maximal antipodal subgroups are not unique up to conjugation in almost all cases.

Keywords: Antipodal subgroup, compact Lie group, polar.
