King Agron was the second king of Illyria, modern-day Albania, and the son of King Pleuratus . Agron's rule lasted from 250 to 230 BC. The Illyrians under Agron were at their height militarily, having the most powerful force, both by land and sea, relative to neighboring nations that they ever would have. His kingdom included much of Illyria proper, Epirus and the island of Corcyra. In 231 BC, Demetrius II, king of Macedon, pleaded to Agron for military aid against advancing Greek Aetolians. The Illyrian soldiers routed the Aetolians and returned home as victors. Agron, overjoyed with his success, drank so much wine that he died in 232 BC. His son Pinnes succeeded him and ruled officially (though never de facto) for thirteen years. His first wife and the mother of Pinnes was Queen Teuta.
