Talk:Agron of Illyria

Untitled

How can Agron be involved in Greek affairs in 231 BC and die in 232? Other sources say that he died in 230 BC which seems reasonable to me.--Proofreader 12:00, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

The son of Pleuratus, a king of Illyria. In the strength of his land and naval forces he sur­passed all the preceding kings of that country. When the Aetolians attempted to compel the Me-dionians to join their confederacy, Agron under­took to protect them, having been induced to dc so by a large bribe which he received from Deme­trius, the father of Philip. He accordingly sent tc their assistance a force of 5000 Illyrians, whc gained a decisive victory over the Aetolians. Agron, overjoyed at the news of this success, gave himself up to feasting, and, in consequence of his ex­cess, contracted a pleurisy, of which he died. (b. c 231.) He was succeeded in the government bj his wife Teuta. Just after his death, an embassy arrived from the Romans, who had sent to mediate in behalf of the inhabitants of the island of Issa. who had revolted from Agron and placed them-selves under the protection of the Romans. By his first wife, Triteuta, whom he divorced, he had a son named Pinnes, or Pinneus, who survived him, and was placed under the guardianship of Demetrius Pharius, who married his mother after the death of Teuta. (Dion Cass. xxxiv. 46, 151 ; Polyb. ii. 2—4; Appian, III. 7 ; Flor. ii. 5 ; Plin. H. N. xxxiv. 6.) [C. P. M.]Megistias (talk) 18:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Herodotus

Was Agron not mentioned in Herodotus' Histories? I seem to recall reading about him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.91.212.68 (talk) 21:43, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

A Serb?

According to Jovan Deretic, Argon was a Serb and Illyria is a synonym for Serbia; Sarbini, Dardaniens like Pythagoras, Raseni, Latini, GaliCeltes...were all Serbian tribes. Genetics studies, Kylosov, found that all paleolithic skelotons have Slavonic, it means Serbian, Haplogroup I ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.155.139.87 (talk) 14:21, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
