Illyrian invasion against the Molossians (385 BC)

An Illyrian invasion against the Molossians in Epirus occurred in 385 BC. Illyrians, led by king Bardylis, were supported by Dionysius I of Syracuse who was aiming to expand his influence in the eastern Adriatic Sea and Ionian Sea, and by Alcetas I of Epirus who was expelled from his land by the Molossian pro-Spartan party and exiled in Syracuse.
