477 BCE to 334 BCE

The Illyrian kingdom of Bardyllis becomes a formidable local power in the fourth century BCE.

In 358 BCE, however, Macedonia's Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, defeats the Illyrians and assumes control of their territory as far as Lake Ohrid.

Alexander himself routs the forces of the Illyrian chieftain Cleitus in 335 BCE, and Illyrian tribal leaders and soldiers accompany Alexander on his conquest of Persia.
