Hi Olvios!

According to maicar:

After having many children, Cadmus and Harmonia 1 left Thebes in order to defend the Encheleans, a people leaving in southern Illyria, which is the region north of Epirus, and there defeated the Illyrian intruders. During their absence, their son Polydorus 2 became king, but it is also said that Pentheus 1, son of the Sparti Echion 2 and Agave 2, daughter of Cadmus, succeeded him on the throne.

Agave 2 herself married King Lycotherses of Illyria, whom she murdered, handing the kingdom over to her father.

Now this Agave gained territory in Illyricum by killing the mysterious Lycotherses (he must be one of the proto Illyrian kings even preceding Dardanus/Illyrius ....in what time date should we place the Cadmus and Harmonia and their children era? 6000 b.c. as alledgedly Dionysos was born in the same time?? If that old the Lycothersus king must had been a proto Illyrian king as in one of the first of the dynasty.)

Agave could have ruled the Epirotic territory after Thebes and the Encheleans....but that is a whole other topic...as you know

Albanians say in their propaanda sites that epirus is just a geographic term and has no other affilitations with Greece.This is false of course.
