This is a list of rulers in Illyria, a region of the classical antiquity in what is today the Western Balkans. The region was inhabited by loosely related tribes that often were part of larger tribal conglomerations like the Dalmatae. In the late 5th and the early 4th century BC, the first polities of the area would be created as exemplified by Bardylis's Dardanian kingdom. In the course of the 4th century parts of the southernmost and easternmost regions of Illyria fell under the Kingdom of Macedon. The most powerful state of the area, the Ardiaean kingdom, emerged in the 2nd century BC during the rule of Agron and Teuta. It was defeated and conquered by the Roman Republic, which maintained a system of direct rule and client states before the final incorporation of the area to the Roman state after the Third Illyrian War. == Mythological rulers == * Lycotherses: king of Illyria and husband of Agave from Thebes.〔http://www.academia.edu/489633/Cadmus_and_Harmonia_in_Illyria〕 * Cadmus: helped the Enchelae against the other Illyrians around Lyncestia.〔The Dictionary of Classical Mythology by Pierre Grimal and A.
