For Agron himself there is more than one possible identification. Perhaps he is the Illyrian king of the C3 BCE (Polybius 2.2-4; Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 10.439E-440A [10.54 Kaibel]), whose son was Pinnes (Cassius Dio 12.49.3, etc.); alternatively he is the Agron mentioned in Herodotus 1.7, founder of the Heraclid dynasty in Sardis.
