Sometime before his death (231/230 BC), Agron divorced Triteuta and married Teuta. Their son, crown prince Pinnes, was placed under the guardianship of step-mother Teuta (the Queen regent) until after the First Illyrian War (228 BC).<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref name=":0" /> It is believed that, at some point, Teuta abdicated, died, or was removed, and the regency for Pinnes was taken by Demetrius of Pharos.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name=":1">Template:Cite book</ref>

According to Dio Chrysostom, Demetrius of Pharos married Triteuta and became regent for Pinnes,Template:Sfn <ref name=":0" />after the war, thus becoming the most powerful of the Illyrian rulers in the 220s BC.Template:Sfn<ref name=":1" />
